The Strangers: Chapter 3 Box Office Collection- The horror film The Strangers: Chapter 3 has suffered a significant setback during its opening weekend at American cinemas. Released on February 6, the movie managed to collect just $3.4 million across its first three days, making it the poorest performer in the entire franchise.
Audience Reception Hits Rock Bottom
Moviegoers have expressed strong disapproval, awarding the film a D grade on CinemaScore – the worst rating any Strangers movie has ever received. This poor score places Chapter 3 alongside other post-pandemic disappointments like The Exorcism and Joker: Folie à Deux.
Weekend Performance Details
The film screened in 2,565 theaters nationwide but struggled to attract audiences. On its opening Friday, it earned $1.5 million, followed by $1.3 million on Saturday. However, Sunday saw a dramatic 65% decline, bringing in merely $487,000. The average earning per theater stood at just $1,353.
Director Renny Harlin’s horror sequel faced stiff competition from major holdover releases including Avatar: Fire and Ash, Zootopia 2, and The Housemaid. The Super Bowl weekend also contributed to reduced theater attendance.
Franchise Comparison
When compared to earlier films, the decline becomes evident. The Strangers: Chapter 1 opened with $11.8 million, while Chapter 2 managed $5.8 million. Chapter 3’s $3.4 million opening represents a substantial drop.

Critical Response
Critics haven’t been kind either. The film holds merely 16% on Rotten Tomatoes’ Tomatometer, though general audiences rated it slightly better at 51% on the Popcornmeter.
The movie continues Maya’s story, played by Madelaine Petsch, as she faces the masked killers in what’s billed as the final confrontation. For Lionsgate studio, this adds to a challenging year.
