The new horror movie Scream 7 had a very strong opening in cinemas. The film earned about $64 million in the United States during its first weekend. This makes it the biggest opening weekend in the history of the Scream series.
The previous record belonged to Scream VI, which earned around $44 million when it was released in 2023. Because of this result, Scream 7 quickly became one of the most successful horror releases of the year.
Fans excited about the return of the franchise
Part of the film’s success comes from the return of famous characters. Actress Neve Campbell returns to play Sidney Prescott, the main character from the original films. Many fans were excited to see her back in the series.
The movie also continues the story of the masked killer known as Ghostface. As in the previous films, the story follows a new mystery about who is behind the attacks.
The film was directed by Kevin Williamson, who wrote the script for the first Scream movie in 1996. His return helped connect the new movie with the original story.
Strong results around the world
Scream 7 also performed well outside the United States. The film earned about $33 million in international markets during its first weekend. This means the movie made around $97 million worldwide in just a few days.
The film was released in thousands of cinemas across North America, which helped it reach a large audience quickly.
Good news for the studio
The movie was released by Paramount Pictures. The film reportedly cost about $45 million to produce, so the strong opening weekend is a very positive result for the studio.
If ticket sales continue at a similar level in the coming weeks, the movie could become one of the most successful films in the franchise.
A long-running horror series
The first Scream movie was released in 1996 and became one of the most famous horror films of its time. The series has continued for many years and still has a strong fan base.
With the strong start of Scream 7, it is possible that the franchise will continue with more films in the future.Herramientas
