horror film demolishing $200m flop Joker: Folie à Deux at the box office.<br>

Thornton said the runaway success of his film had left him <br>
<br>
stunned as he likened to battle of the two films to 'David vs Goliath.' <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
He told TMZ: 'Terrifier 3 was a small lower budget independent film...<br>
<br>
I never expected this to happen in my life, I'm floored and grateful for it <br>

Terrifier 3 dethrones Joker: Folie À Deux as box office champ<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'This shows Hollywood that we need to start making movies that take risks again.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The star said he had yet to see the panned Joker sequel, saying: 'I was shocked too as the first Joker film I loved, I'm curious to see why people aren't as crazy about the second one.' <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Terrifier 3, written and directed by Damien Leone, <br>
<br>
is an un-rated blood fest, which has received a 78-percent rating from the critics on Rotten Tomatoes. Audiences have 'certified' it 'hot' and given it a healthy 90-percent on the popcornmeter.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The film earned $18.3 million at the box office <br>
<br>
according to The Numbers. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Landing in third place was Joker: Folie à Deux. After winning the box office competition during its debut <br>
<br>
weekend could not overcome the bad reviews, enduring an 82-percent decline in ticket sales.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The movie collected only $7.055 million, in spite <br>
<br>
of being in more than four thousand theaters across the US. <br>

The musical is 'poised to lose at least $150 million to $200 million in its theatrical run' according to the publication.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The movie studio spent about $200 million to produce the film and about $100 million on marketing and distribution, according to the report.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
It would need to gross about $450 million at the box office to break even — when factoring in the cut taken by theaters — though Warner Bros.<br>
<br>
sources claim the number is $375 million.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
A Warner Bros. spokesperson responded to the report, saying 'Any estimates suggested by anonymous "insiders" or "rival executives" are <br>
<br>
grossly wrong and continues a trend where rumor is reported as <br>
<br>
fact.'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'The film continues to play in theatrical release, included with this week's opening in China, and will continue to earn revenue throughout its home viewing and <br>
<br>
ancillary run.'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
So far, the musical about Batman's nemesis has grossed $51.5 million domestically and $165 million globally after two weeks <br>
<br>
of release.<br>

In comparison, the first Joker grossed $96.2 million domestically and $248.4 million globally after three days of release.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The hotly-anticipated sequel to the 2019 billion dollar Oscar-winning film was <br>
<br>
considered a surefire hit for Warner Bros Pictures, yet ended up being <br>
<br>
slammed by critics and failed to ignite at the <br>
<br>
box office. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Joker: Folie À Deux has garnered the lowest CinemaScore in comic book movie history as the film bombed at <br>
<br>
the box office on opening night. <br>
