‘Scream VI’ earned $5.7 million in Thursday previews.
Paramount is eyeing a franchise-best debut for Scream VI, which slashed its way to $5.7 million in box office previews on Thursday. The film kicked off its nationwide release with a fan event at 5 pm, before going wide into over 3,100 theaters half-an-hour later. The sixth film in the iconic horror franchise is on track to finish between $35 million and $40 million in its first weekend, and is expanding into more than 3,600 theaters today.
Anything above $34.7 million would put it ahead of 2000’s Scream 3, which currently holds the record for the top debut in the series’ history, unadjusted for inflation, of course. Worldwide, Scream VI is headed towards a $50 million debut. By comparison, last year’s fifth Scream made $3.5 million on Thursday, on its way to a $30 million opening weekend. Scream VI’s $5.7 million preview haul is also bigger than the $5.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Diving further into the box office performance of the Scream franchise, the first film made $6.3 million in its opening weekend in 1996, and finished with $173 million worldwide. Scream 2 delivered a $32 million opening weekend just a year later, and finished with roughly the same figure as the first film globally. Scream 3 tapped out with $161 million worldwide, and 2011’s Scream 4 finished with $95 million worldwide after an $18 million opening weekend.
Elsewhere, the week’s second major new release, the science-fiction action film 65, grossed $1.2 million in previews. Directed by A Quiet Place writers Scott Beck and Bryan Woods and starring Adam Driver, the poorly-reviewed film is on track for a mild opening between $7 million and $9 million, against a reported budget of $45 million. Also opening wide is the sports comedy Champions, starring Woody Harrelson as the coach of a team of differently abled basketball players.
Scream VI features returning cast members Jenna Ortega, Melissa Barrera, Mason Gooding, Jasmin Savoy Brown, and Courteney Cox. You can watch our interview with Ortega and Barrera here, and stay tuned to Collider for more box office coverage over the weekend.
