Smile 2 - starring Naomi Scott, Lukas Gage and Jack Nicholson’s son Ray
emerged as the winner after a horror movie box office showdown.
The fright flick eclipsed hot contender Terrifier 3 for
the top spot.
The Smile sequel starring Scott, 31, as a pop star who begins experiencing terrifying
and inexplicable events as she prepares for a world tour,
_ opened wide in more than 3,600 theaters, pulling in a payday of
$23 million.
Ray, whose mom is Nicholson’s former partner
Rebecca Broussard, shocked fans with an eerie grin in the new movie, which was near-identical to the Oscar-winner’s maniacal smile as Jack Torrance in the
1980 Stanley Kubrick classic, The Shining.
In a legendary scene, an insane Jack hacks at a bathroom door with an axe as
his cowering wife Wendy (Shelley Duvall) screams inside.
As he busts a hole in the door, he sticks his face through, grins and exclaims :
’Here’s Johnny !’ in an improvised line.
The original Smile, released in September 2022, and starring Sosie Bacon, was
a sleeper hit, which was well received and earned $217,408,513 globally.
Smile 2 has received a 83-percent critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an 83-percent Popcornmeter rating from audiences.
