Joker: Folie à Deux is hitting an all-time low in its second weekend at the box office, falling far behind the rival evil clown movie Terrifier 3. The Joker 2 box office has failed to take the world by storm, debuting more than $100 million below the original 2019 DC Comics movie during its worldwide opening weekend. Meanwhile, the slasher sequel Terrifier 3, which features the return of Art the Clown (David Howard Thornton) has been steadily gaining steam in its early projections during the lead-up to Halloween.
Per Deadline, as of Saturday morning, Terrifier 3 is projected to take the No. 1 slot at the domestic box office over Joker: Folie à Deux with a 3-day opening weekend gross between $17 and $18 million, which outgrosses the entire $15.7 million worldwide theatrical run of Terrifier 2 in a single weekend. Meanwhile, Joker is cratering, currently projected to take in a second weekend gross between $6.7 and $7 million. This represents a drop between 81.4% and 82.2% from its already grim domestic opening weekend gross of $37.7 million.
Even at the higher end of its projections, Joker: Folie à Deux is set to have the worst week 2 drop of any movie featuring a DC character as well as the worst of the entire superhero genre, including The Marvels (78.1%) and Shazam! Fury of the Gods (69%). At the lower end of projections, an 82.2% drop would tie the movie with Waitress: The Musical for the 11th worst domestic drop of all time. This would place it on the chart above the notorious 2003 flop Gigli, which only had an 81.9% drop in its second weekend.
