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.

Smile 2's big win at the box office has production companies Paramount Pictures and Temple Hill beaming from ear to ear.
