The Scream franchise is much like its masked killer: It likes to lurk around in the background for a little while; then, it jumps out of nowhere and makes a killing.
Scream 7 is no different. The movie ghosted its way to first place at the box office in its debut weekend, generating $64.1 million in the United States. Worldwide, the horror staple took in $97.2 million.
The scary movie utterly slew its competition. The next highest film was GOAT, which fell from first place to second by making $12 million. That still raises its domestic earnings to $74 million and its worldwide cume to $130.5 million. Not bad for a kid whose ball just got popped by a killer’s hunting knife.
Third place went to Wuthering Heights, a movie that seems to be in the habit of losing half its audience each week. This time, following a 50% drop in attendance, the Brontë-based film brought in $7 million. Factoring in that gain, its domestic gross comes to $72.3 million; worldwide, the movie has made $192 million.
Taking the box office’s fourth and fifth spots were two music-based concert films. In fourth place, Twenty One Pilots: More Than We Ever Imagined earned $4.3 million. And the King of Rock and Roll himself took fifth with EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert. That movie earned a chunk, a chunk of money—$3.5 million, actually. And considering Twenty One Pilots covered Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” there’s a chance audiences may have heard some Elvis at either film.
As for other new releases, anime Umamusume: Pretty Derby – Beginning of a New Era started its race in 13th place. It generated a mere $900,000.
