Smile 2 - starring Naomi Scott, Lukas Gage and Jack Nicholson's son Ray - emerged <br>
<br>
as the winner after a horror movie box office showdown.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The fright flick eclipsed hot contender Terrifier 3 for <br>
<br>
the top spot.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The Smile sequel starring Scott, 31, as a pop star who begins experiencing terrifying <br>
<br>
and inexplicable events as she prepares for a world tour, opened <br>
<br>
wide in more than 3,600 theaters, pulling in a payday of $23 million.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Ray, whose mom is Nicholson's former partner Rebecca Broussard, <br>
<br>
shocked fans with an eerie grin in the new movie, <br>
<br>
which was near-identical to the Oscar-winner's maniacal smile <br>
<br>
as Jack Torrance in the 1980 Stanley Kubrick classic, The Shining.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
In a legendary scene, an insane Jack hacks at a bathroom door with an axe <br>
<br>
as his cowering wife Wendy (Shelley Duvall) screams inside.<br>
<br>
As he busts a hole in the door, he sticks his face through, grins and <br>
<br>
exclaims: 'Here's Johnny!' in an improvised line.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The original Smile, released in September 2022, and starring Sosie Bacon, was a sleeper hit, which was well <br>
<br>
received and earned $217,408,513 globally.<br>
<br>
<br>
