“Scream 7” slayed the competition at the North American box office, setting a franchise record with $64.1 million in its opening weekend, industry estimates showed Sunday.<\/p>\n
Neve Campbell is back as original heroine Sidney Prescott in the Paramount film, the latest installment in the 30-year-old slasher series featuring yet another Ghostface killer.<\/p>\n
Franchise veterans Courteney Cox and David Arquette are also back in the new film. Its worldwide box office topped $97 million, according to Exhibitor Relations.<\/p>\n
It was the best-ever opening for a “Scream” film, according to data from Box Office Mojo.<\/p>\n
“This is sensational business,” said analyst David A. Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research.<\/p>\n
“This audience knows these characters and story and that’s what they want to see.”<\/p>\n
The killer opening for “Scream 7” knocked Sony’s family-friendly animated film “GOAT” down to second place with $12 million in ticket sales in the United States and Canada.<\/p>\n
The film — the story of an undersized goat who wants to join a basketball-like “roarball” team — was produced by NBA superstar Stephen Curry, who also takes on a voice role.<\/p>\n
“Wuthering Heights” — starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi as the doomed lovers Cathy and Heathcliff from Emily Bronte’s classic novel — dropped to third place at $7 million.<\/p>\n
Debuting in fourth place was concert film “Twenty-One Pilots: More than We Ever Imagined,” featuring a performance from the US band in Mexico City. It earned $4.3 million.<\/p>\n
And in fifth place was “EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert,” Baz Luhrmann’s documentary about the legendary rocker featuring remastered footage.<\/p>\n
The Neon film earned $3.5 million when it expanded to a wider theatrical release in North America.<\/p>\n
Rounding out the top 10 are:<\/p>\n
“Crime 101” ($3.4 million)<\/p>\n
“I Can Only Imagine 2” ($3.1 million)<\/p>\n
“Send Help” ($2.8 million)<\/p>\n
“How to Make a Killing” ($1.6 million)<\/p>\n
“Zootopia 2” ($1.4 million)<\/p>\n
