When will Terrifier 3 leave theaters? Studio chief teases long run

As a long-time fan of horror films, I can confidently say that Terrifier 3 has been a rollercoaster ride of anticipation and excitement for us die-hard fans! The success story of this third installment is nothing short of incredible, considering its humble beginnings with the first film.


This year, the joy of Christmas arrived ahead of schedule with the release of Terrifier 3, the latest and arguably most sinister film featuring Art the Clown. If you’ve been wondering when it will depart cinemas, rest assured that there’s no need to fret.

Initially, Damien Leone’s first Terrifier film didn’t do well financially at the box office, but it managed to cultivate a dedicated and enthusiastic fanbase who later contributed over half a million dollars towards the production of Terrifier 2.

In the United States, the second installment became a sensational hit, earning over $15.7 million globally and sparking hunger among horror enthusiasts everywhere, ultimately leading to a wider distribution for its upcoming sequel on an international scale.

A single glance at the ticket sales for Terrifier 3 clearly shows its success – it’s an unmitigated triumph! If you haven’t managed to see it in theaters just yet, there’s no need to worry as there’s still plenty of time left.

It’s confirmed that “Terrifier 3” will grace the big screens this Halloween, and the studio’s leader is optimistic that it may continue to entertain audiences all the way through Christmas. There’s even a hint of a unique “Christmas Eve special event” in store.

On October 11, the third installment of the movie series premiered in cinemas, earning an impressive $18.9 million during its first weekend (managing to outperform Joker 2’s opening numbers, but dropping by more than 80% in its second weekend).

The film has currently earned more than $41 million globally, demonstrating a robust performance despite experiencing a significant drop of 48% in its second week. Notably, this occurred amidst the debut of a major horror movie like “Smile 2”.

Here’s the main thing to remember: don’t panic if there are fewer screenings of Terrifier 3. With how well it’s performing, it won’t be leaving theaters any time soon, but cinemas need to make room for new movies like Venom 3, Conclave, and Heretic.

For example, let’s look at two cinemas in New York: AMC Empire 25 isn’t playing Terrifier 3 on October 31 (probably due to 19 screenings of Venom: The Last Dance), but Regal Times Square has four screenings available throughout the day.

According to Chris McGurk, CEO of Cineverse, securing the screens for their release this time around wasn’t an issue. He had confidence in its success, but he never anticipated it would perform as exceptionally as it has.

You’re encountering something unfamiliar, as no one has witnessed a movie performance like this one without a rating.

When is Terrifier 3 coming to streaming?

It’s tricky to give an exact answer, but it seems probable that we might stream Terrifier 3 as early as the end of 2024.

ScreamBox, a horror-focused streaming service within the Cineverse network, holds exclusive rights to the film. Given that it’s a more specialized streaming platform, it’s likely that Terrifier 3 will continue to play in cinemas on a limited basis, even if it becomes available for home viewing.

Approximately a month following its theater debut, Terrifier 2 could be purchased or rented digitally. If we’re fortunate, it might appear on Video On Demand (VOD) services in November, though this has yet to be officially announced.

Essentially, as long as it’s profitable, Damien Leone and his team have no immediate plans to bring it to streaming platforms.
