Our take on the Terrifier 3 Box Office
His domestic gross may continue to climb
There is no telling how high Terrifying 3 Will be able to crawl through the end of its run. It has already outgrown the entire $15.7 million run of the previous installment and has become more than profitable, probably passing its break-even point around the $5 million mark. If it continues to rise proportionally to the indie horror hit Long legswhich opened to $22.4 million and earned $74 million domestically, It could eventually gross more than $60 million in North America aloneWhich would be a whopping 30 times his budget.
