‘Scream VI’ Dominates Box Office With Best Opening In Franchise History
The latest installment in the Scream franchise, Scream VI, has made a big splash at the box office with its opening weekend. The horror sequel has set a new record for the franchise with a whopping $44.5 million in ticket sales. This marks the best opening weekend for any movie in the Scream series. The film has already recouped its budget of $35 million and is well on its way to making a profit.
In second place was Creed III, which has grossed $27.1 million and crossed the $100 million mark in just two weeks. In third place was the prehistoric sci-fi flick 65, which brought in $12.3 million in its opening weekend. Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and Cocaine Bear rounded out the top five with $7 million and $6.2 million in ticket sales, respectively.
One question that some may have is why Scream VI was released now instead of closer to Halloween. The answer could be that horror movies have been successful at the box office throughout the year, not just during the Halloween season. As for how many more sequels the franchise will produce, only time will tell. However, with the success of Scream VI, it’s safe to say that fans of the franchise can look forward to more scary movies in the future.
