Paramount and Spyglass’ Scream 7 has no intention of slowing its slay of the box office, with the latest installment in the 30-year old franchise bound for $60M+ worldwide start. That would rank as the series’ second-best opening following 2023’s Scream VI, starring Jenna Ortega and Melissa Barrera, which posted the best domestic opening ever at $44.4M and global at $66.4M in 50 territories. Scream 7 is the sole big wide entry on marquees this weekend, playing 3,500 theaters in U.S./Canada and 52 offshore markets.
Rivals have been going wild that Scream 7 could overperform its stateside $40M outlook, but forecasts have been wonky: Many were seeing a $50M opening for Wuthering Heights, and it was not, with a 4-day of $37.5M.
The sell with 7 is that after Scream VI took a rare detour for Manhattan, Neve Campbell’s Sidney Prescott is back in Pine Grove, Indiana, where Ghostface broke out.
