Movie Monday: ‘Terrifier 3’ Scares Competition Away, Best TV Shows to Binge Watch

In his review of Terrifier 3, Bob Hoose warned readers that the movie “is grotesquely foul on every level and a torture all its own to simply watch for two hours. … I wouldn’t recommend that anyone even consider viewing this disgusting bucket of cinematic excrement.”

So, why did Plugged In even bother watching it? “In case someone brings the topic up around the watercooler,” Hoose continued.

Well, those watercoolers must have had some serious foot traffic—or maybe folks just didn’t have anything better to do with their time in a weekend with few other new film offerings—because Terrifier 3 took home roughly $18.3 million, landing it in the box office top spot.

Universal’s The Wild Robot kept its spot at No. 2, with an estimated $13.4 million. But Joker: Folie à Deux and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice both fell in the rankings, bringing home about $7 million each to come in at third and fourth place, respectively.

Piece by Piece, a documentary about the life of musical artist Pharrell Williams, as told through LEGO pieces, earned about $3.8 million to close out the top five.

Saturday Night, the story of Saturday Night Live’s tumultuous opening show, landed further down the list with roughly $3.4 million in earnings. My Hero Academia: You’re Next, yet another offering from popular anime series My Hero Academia, earned an estimated $3 million. And The Nightmare Before Christmas (in a special limited rerelease) filled Disney coffers with another $2.3 million.

Finally, Average Joe took home an estimated $1.1 million. This documentary-like dramatization chronicles the true story of Joe Kennedy and his fight against the Supreme Court to protect his right to pray on the football field after games.
