Approval
LOS
ANGELES, Oct. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Cineverse Corp. (NASDAQ: CNVS), an innovative
streaming technology and entertainment company, is proud to
announce that Terrifier 3 has delivered a standout
opening performance, far surpassing early expectations and proving
the power of independent filmmaking.
With over 2,500 theaters in North
America, Terrifier 3 opened to $21.4 million at the box office over the four-day
holiday weekend. This performance is a testament to the film's
dedicated fan base and the creative vision of filmmaker
Damien Leone and producer
Phil Falcone. The film is Certified
Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, and currently boasts an 89% Popcornmeter
audience score. It has also earned a strong B CinemaScore,
reinforcing its appeal to the horror genre's most loyal
supporters.
"This isn't just a triumph for Cineverse, it's a victory for
independent filmmakers everywhere," said Chris McGurk, Chairman & CEO of
Cineverse. "Terrifier 3 shows that with the right
creative team and the support of loyal fans, a quality indie film
can break the mold and compete with major studio releases. We're
beyond thrilled with the reception, and this success proves that
Damien and Phil's connection to horror fans is second to none."
McGurk continued by thanking Cineverse's production partners,
including Dark Age Cinema and The Coven for creating such an
extraordinary film. He commended Iconic Events Releasing for their
theatrical distribution efforts, where they outgunned and surpassed
much more expensive and heavily marketed competitive films from the
major studios. He also acknowledged the strong performance from the
marketing agencies that collaborated on the success of the release:
Anti Agency Group (media), TriplePlay Studios (viral), Kevin
Childress Creative (trailer), Katrina Wan PR (publicity), The
Lippin Group (corporate communications) and Insights
Theatrical.
"We're overwhelmed and inspired to see fans' passionate support
for this truly independent film completely guided by the vision of
an amazing and singular filmmaker, Damien
Leone — and an incredibly talented cast. Our marketing
strategy was fan-centric at its core – digital-first with a heavy
emphasis on community interaction, cultural resonance, virality —
mixed with fun creative concepts and innovation. We are grateful
for the fans and the opportunity to engage with such a strong,
enthusiastic audience."
Terrifier 3 opened nationwide on October 11, 2024, just in time for the Halloween
season. The film was released by Cineverse and Bloody Disgusting,
its horror division, in theaters across North America.
