Ray Nicholson in a white suit making a creepy smile in Smile 2.

With a sinister grin on its face, Smile 2 debuted last Friday in theaters and managed to steal the crown away from last week's top performer Terrifier 3. Directed by Parker Finn, the sequel debuted at #1 domestically and raked in $23 million both in North America and internationally, marking an even stronger opening than its predecessor.

Rounding up the top three is the gory horror movie Terrifier 3. Even though the unrated movie dropped two positions at the domestic box office table, it is still a strong performer that raked in over $9 million and remains the top-earning entry in the Terrifier franchise. In the story, Art The Clown is back from the dead and ready to haunt the holidays. A fourth installment of the horror movie is already in development.
