The horror film “Terrifier 3” slashed its way to the top of the box office with a stellar $18.3 million opening weekend, while “Joker: Folie á Deux” suffered an 82% drop in ticket sales. Despite positive critical and audience reactions, “Folie á Deux” is struggling to break even due to its high production cost. “Piece By Piece,” a documentary about Pharrell Williams using Lego animation, opened in sixth place, while “Saturday Night” and “The Apprentice” also struggled to find success at the box office.
Meanwhile, “The Wild Robot” and “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” continued to perform well, with the former earning $83.73 million domestically and the latter grossing $275 million in North America. Year-to-date revenues remain behind previous years, with 2024 proving to be a challenging year for theaters.
Overall, the box office experienced a low-grossing frame, with ups and downs in performance throughout the year. Despite some successful films, like “Terrifier 3” and “The Wild Robot,” the industry continues to face challenges in attracting audiences back to theaters.
