One killer clown takes out another at the weekend box office

Oh, how the mighty have fallen. In 2019, a movie about a killer clown with a reasonable budget dominated the box office. In 2024, the sequel will be completely eclipsed another Continuing with an even more reasonable budget approx. a different Killer clown. Arthur Fleck just couldn't keep up with Art the Clown. Arthur Fleck can hardly keep up with anyone: Joker: Folie À Deux posted the largest second weekend decline ever for a comic book film and nearly the worst second weekend ever for a film.

Joker 2According to Box Office Mojo, the film landed third at the box office last weekend with its measly $7 million. In the meantime, horror 3 debuted at the top with $18.3 million, a resounding success for an indie horror film with a budget of just $2 million. The small slasher that could leave behind a number of films with higher budgets and far more powerful studios. The animated children's film The wild robot comes in second place, while Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (who is enjoying a fairly successful run) comes in fourth. horror 3 was well ahead of the second highest debut of the weekend, piece by piecewhich came in fifth place. The Pharrell Williams biopic, which is inexplicably a Lego movie, grossed $3.8 million at the box office on a $16 million budget.

Box office-wise, it wasn't a great weekend for the buzzy awards contenders.
