    Terrifier 3 star David Howard Thornton has broken his silence on the low-budget horror film demolishing $200m
    flop Joker: Folie à Deux at the box office.

    The grisly film - made for about $2 million - stars Thornton as homicidal clown Art who brutally murders an array of victims in stomach churning
    scenes - with the film knocking the starry
    Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga film off the top of the US box office last
    week.

    Thornton said the runaway success of his film had left him stunned as he likened to battle of the two films to 'David vs Goliath.' 

    He told TMZ: 'Terrifier 3 was a small lower budget independent film...
    I never expected this to happen in my life, I'm
    floored and grateful for it all.

    'We're grateful to the fans, we have a dedicated fanbase, we
    weren't beholden to the studio system.

    Terrifier 3 dethrones Joker: Folie À Deux as box office champ


    'This shows Hollywood that we need to start making
    movies that take risks again.

    The star said he had yet to see the panned Joker sequel, saying: 'I
    was shocked too as the first Joker film I loved, I'm curious to see why people aren't as crazy about the second one.'    

    Terrifier 3, written and directed by Damien Leone, is an un-rated blood fest,
    which has received a 78-percent rating from the critics on Rotten Tomatoes.  Audiences have 'certified' it 'hot' and given it a
    healthy 90-percent on the popcornmeter.

    The film earned $18.3 million at the box office according to The
    Numbers.   

    Landing in third place was Joker: Folie à Deux. After winning the box office competition during its debut
    weekend could not overcome the bad reviews, enduring an 82-percent decline
    in ticket sales.

    The movie collected only $7.055 million, in spite of being in more than four thousand theaters across the US.

    He said: 'Terrifier 3 was a small lower budget independent
    film... I never expected this to happen in my life, I'm floored
    and grateful for it all'

    The musical is 'poised to lose at least $150 million to $200 million in its theatrical run' according to the publication.

    The movie studio spent about $200 million to produce the film and about $100 million on marketing
    and distribution, according to the report.

    It would need to gross about $450 million at
    the box office to break even — when factoring in the cut
    taken by theaters — though Warner Bros. sources claim the
    number is $375 million.

    A Warner Bros. spokesperson responded to the report, saying 'Any estimates suggested by anonymous "insiders" or "rival executives" are grossly wrong and continues a trend where rumor is reported as fact.'

    'The film continues to play in theatrical release, included with this week's opening in China, and will continue to earn revenue throughout its home viewing and ancillary
    run.'

    So far, the musical about Batman's nemesis has grossed $51.5 million domestically and
    $165 million globally after two weeks of release.

    In comparison, the first Joker grossed $96.2 million domestically
    and $248.4 million globally after three days of release.

    The hotly-anticipated sequel to the 2019 billion dollar Oscar-winning film was considered a surefire hit for Warner Bros Pictures, yet
    ended up being slammed by critics and failed to ignite at the box office. 

    Joker: Folie À Deux has garnered the lowest CinemaScore in comic book movie
    history as the film bombed at the box office on opening night.

    March 24 (Reuters) - Marlboro maker Philip Morris International Inc is working on options to exit
    the Russian market, citing a complex and rapidly
    changing regulatory and operating environment in the country
    following its invasion of Ukraine.

    The company, which garnered around 6% its net revenue from Russia in 2021, said
    on Thursday it has discontinued sale of several cigarette products and canceled all product launches for the year in Russia.



    It has also canceled plans to make over 20 billion TEREA sticks,
    heated tobacco units intended for use with its IQOS ILUMA devices, as well as related investment of $150 million.

    Earlier this month, Philip Morris had suspended its planned investments and decided to scale down manufacturing operations in the country.


    Rival Imperial Brands too has started talks to transfer its Russian business to a local
    third party, joining BAT in exiting the sanction-hit country.
