Despite a surprisingly strong box office performance, fans are already turning their attention to Terrifier 3's upcoming streaming debut.
Terrifier 3 dominated the domestic box office in its opening weekend, earning an estimated $18.9 million. This impressive debut for the $2 million budget slasher easily surpassed expectations, becoming the biggest movie in North America.
The horror film follows Sienna Shaw as she tries to rebuild her life in the days before Christmas while being hunted by Art the Clown and his new accomplice, a possessed Victoria Heyes.
When Will Terrifier 3 Release on Streaming?
Following its theatrical release on October 11, Terrifier 3 is poised to hit streaming through Screambox in the coming months, which is expected to follow a timeline similar to its predecessor, Terrifier 2.
In 2022, Terrifier 2 premiered in theaters on October 6 and made its streaming debut on Screambox weeks later, on October 31, before releasing on digital on November 11.
If Terrifier 3 follows a comparable schedule, it could become available for streaming as soon as Thursday, October 31. This would capitalize on the Halloween season, catering to horror enthusiasts looking for a fright-filled night.
However, given Terrifier 3's strong box office performance (which might be due to its chillingly disturbing opening sequence), the release strategy might shift to maximize its theatrical revenue.
Terrifier 3's streaming release could be pushed back to late November or even December, allowing the film to extend its theater run.
When Will Terrifier 3 Release Digitally?
Prioritizing streaming before digital for Terrifier 2 was unusual, so the distribution approach could change this time with Terrifier 3.
If the filmmakers opt for a different strategy, Terrifier 3 might arrive on digital platforms at the end of October, followed by its Screambox debut.
Ultimately, the exact release plan will likely depend on Terrifier 3's continued success at the box office and the demand for streaming horror content.
If Terrifier 3 follows a pattern similar to its predecessor, it could become available digitally in early to mid-November 2024.
With Terrifier 2, the digital release occurred 10 days after its streaming debut on Screambox, suggesting that Terrifier 3 might see a digital release around November 10-15.
