The silent, sadistic, and creepy Art the Clown scares the people of the fictitious Miles County. Terrifier film trilogy has generated a giant fan base over the years, which branches out into further media franchises, including comic books, novels, and video games. The threequel came out last year and stunned everyone with its huge box office success, earning the title of the highest-grossing unrated film of all time. As a horror movie like Sinners is dominating the box office, let’s rewind and look at the box office success of the Terrifier franchise and rank them as per their collections.
The film franchise was created by Damien Leone, who also serves as one of the producers of these movies. The movies primarily focus on Sienna Shaw, a young woman destined to defeat Art the Clown, a demonic serial killer who lives in their town. Other characters from films help Art the Clown in his malicious works. For example, the Little Pale Girl, a sinister entity accompanying Art, and Victoria Heyer, a disfigured survivor who struggles with her health, gets possessed by the Little Pale Girl, becoming Art’s accomplice.
The Terrifier movies are made on very low budgets and have raked considerable profit in their theatrical runs. According to The Numbers, the total amount spent on the production of the three movies is an estimated $2.28 million only, and they have collected over $65.2 million in the US and $92.48 million worldwide. Terrifier 3, which was released last year, has the biggest budget, and it was $2 million only. The previous two films did not even cross the $1 million mark with their production cost.
