Box Office: ‘Scream VI’ Scares Up Franchise-Best $44 Million Debut https://t.co/XcgIRRdNLk
— Variety (@Variety) March 12, 2023
The initial haul for Scream VI is frighteningly strong for the sixth installment in a franchise. Not only did it greatly improve upon the start of last year’s hit reboot Scream, which scored with $30 million, but it crushed the all-time opening weekend record previously set by 2000’s Scream 3 with $34 million.
“It’s extraordinary to have this type of result after six films,” says Chris Aronson, Paramount’s president of domestic distribution. “We blew away the opening of the last ‘Scream.’ That doesn’t happen.”
The R-rated Scream VI added another $22.6 million from 53 international markets, bringing its global tally to $67.1 million.
