‘Scream 7’ Opens with a Franchise-Best $64.1 Million in Box-Office Win for Paramount
Scream 7 earned over $60 million in its opening weekend from 3,540 North American locations, surpassing the previous franchise record amid a $45 million budget.
- On Friday, Scream 7 grossed $28.8 million on opening day and is headed for a $60 million-plus weekend from 3,540 North American locations, with estimates as high as $66.5 million.
- Paramount and Spyglass retooled Scream 7 around Neve Campbell after securing her return for $7 million, with Kevin Williamson replacing Christopher Landon as director amid Melissa Barrera’s firing.
- Williamson and Guy Busick refocused Scream 7's story on Sidney and her daughter Tatum, with the production leaning into nostalgia through returning cast members and AI recreations of deceased Ghostfaces.
- The film should be a box-office success against its $45 million budget, displacing last week's champion Wuthering Heights and boosting Paramount's 2026 sequel slate.
- Critics and audiences are divided as Rotten Tomatoes shows a 33% critic and 78% audience split, while opening-night audience metrics returned a B- CinemaScore, weaker than Scream VI's B+.
