The Strangers franchise has hit a new low at the US box office following its latest release on February 6. Already despised by the audience with a D CinemaScore, the lowest in the horror franchise so far, The Strangers: Chapter 3 barely received any footfall in its opening weekend. What’s worse, it has now joined The Exorcism and Joker: Folie à Deux as one of the lowest-scoring movies by audiences in the post-COVID era.
The Strangers: Chapter 3 Box Office Summary
The Strangers: Chapter 3 has earned only $3.4 million from 2,565 theaters in its opening three-day frame, per Box Office Mojo. The film averaged a low $1,353 per screen and has yet to open in the international markets.
Directed by Renny Harlin, the horror sequel arrived in a crowded box office market, dominated by holdover titles featuring Avatar: Fire and Ash, Zootopia 2, Iron Lungs, Send Help, and The Housemaid. The Super Bowl further impacted its performance.
