As a seasoned movie enthusiast with a soft spot for the macabre and a keen eye for indie success stories, I must say that Terrifier 3 has left me thoroughly impressed and eagerly anticipating what comes next. The film’s remarkable achievements, from its record-breaking box office take to its unique accolades on Rotten Tomatoes, serve as testament to the power of grassroots campaigns and the unwavering support of a dedicated horror community.
For director Damien Leone and “Terrifier 3”, the positive momentum persists! The slasher sequel is moving into its second week of release, and it’s making headlines again. This time, on Rotten Tomatoes, the movie has broken another record. Already, it has surpassed the earnings of its predecessor, establishing itself as the most profitable installment in the series so far. With projections suggesting it could become the highest-grossing unrated film ever made domestically.
According to an article by entertainment journalist Erik Davis on X, Terrifier 3 is currently the first horror film to have both a Certified Fresh rating and Verified Hot status on Rotten Tomatoes since they updated their system in August. To qualify for a Certified Fresh rating, a movie needs a Tomatometer score of at least 75% from professional critics with five or more reviews. If the score falls below 70%, it loses this status. For audience ratings, a film becomes Verified Hot when it receives an audience score of 90% or higher. This designation disappears if the score drops below 80%. As of now, Terrifier 3 has a Tomatometer rating of 73% from critics and 88% from audiences.
Leone’s skillful sequel to “Terrifier 2” has caused quite a stir in the film industry since its October 11 premiere, leaving many industry professionals puzzled by its success despite a modest promotional budget of just $500,000 provided by Cineverse. This meager sum was primarily used for marketing, with the majority of the movie’s financial achievements being attributed to grassroots campaigns orchestrated by enthusiastic fans and the power of word-of-mouth recommendations. The horror community has a reputation for rallying around its own, and they were exceptionally active in the lead-up to “Terrifier 3,” using social media to loudly advocate that everyone should watch it. Unsurprisingly, their efforts proved effective.
More People Have Probably Seen Terrifier 3 Than Has Been Reported
Here’s one way of paraphrasing it:
If that’s true, it seems that larger cinema chains might be hindering “Terrifier 3” from reaching even greater financial heights, though this is merely a possibility at the moment. However, given the unusual occurrence that “The Wild Robot” only experienced a decrease of 25.9% in ticket sales during its second week, compared to a drop of 47% from its first to second week, it’s a plausible assumption. Regardless, “Terrifier 3” has undeniably become one of the most successful independent horror films in recent years. With little room for argument, the fourth installment in this franchise is likely to be even more successful, which bodes well for Leone and the dedicated fans who are revolutionizing horror cinema as we watch.
