Terrifier 3, the latest installment in Damien Leone’s brutal slasher franchise, has smashed box office records, grossing over $55.1 million globally, with $44.5 million in the United States alone, according to Bloody Disgusting. This milestone makes it the highest-grossing unrated film ever, surpassing the $15.7 million worldwide and $10.9 million domestic earnings of its predecessor, Terrifier 2.
On October 27, Leone celebrated on X, announcing, “Terrifier 3 crosses $50M at the worldwide box office and officially becomes the highest grossing unrated film, even surpassing the highest grossing NC-17 films.” The success marks a major victory for Leone and the Terrifier franchise, which began as a low-budget independent project.
The film overtook the previous record-holder for highest-grossing unrated film, Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé, which earned $43 million globally. With Terrifier 3 continuing to draw audiences, Art the Clown seems set to linger in theaters through the holiday season. A physical release and SCREAMBOX premiere are anticipated soon, thrilling fans of the franchise.
