The Terrifier 2 figures at the box office They are still a real scandal. The film, which has reached theaters by sheer luck, has not stopped growing from week to week. Something completely atypical at the moment, in which premieres suffer large drops in audience as time progresses. But this is not happening with Terrifier 2. The film, which had a budget of 250,000 dollars, has grossed more than 5.2 million. The film is not only not losing audience, but it is gaining it; Thus, according to official data, it has grown 118% from last Friday to this, adding 1.8 million more to its collection.
Terrifier 2 continues to destroy the box office in the face of the great fall of Halloween Ends:
The success of Terrifier 2 is surprising not only fans, but also its production team. As commented by portal BloodyDisgusting, which has collaborated to bring the film to theaters, the growth is being completely organic, without any type of advertising campaign behind it. Word of mouth from fans of the genre is moving the box office, making theaters fill up and surpassing it, generating an average of $2,511 per theater this weekend.
These figures are especially impressive if we compare them with the other great release of the month: Halloween Ends. The Blumhouse film has fallen 88% at the box office compared to its premiere last week. Something that has been able to surprise the big production companies, but not the fans, who are very clear about it: Terrifier 2 is a breath of fresh air for the genre, gore and uncensored independent cinema is missed and Art The Clown makes a splendid role as new slasher icon.
At the moment we still do not know anything about its premiere on streaming platforms. However, Amazon’s North American website already sells the film’s bluray, so it may be coming to Prime Video soon.
