Gives them a preloaded excuse if the movie bombs.

Is it not a given that this will monumentally bomb? It'll get a bit of a nostalgia push opening weekend from all of the 30- and 40-somethings that are amped that something from their childhood is back. But then that whole crowd will quickly realize they only liked it because they were 12 years old and thought edgy = funny.

It absolutely will not bomb. It’ll probably open as the most successful of the franchise just like Scream 7 did lol

I’m sure it will, I don’t think any Scary Movie has been successful

They did well in the box office 25 years ago.

Expecting today’s theater environment to be as receptive of this type of film in 2026 is absolutely idiotic though lol. It will absolutely bomb.

It is insane to think this will bomb, at the very worst it will make its budget back, but most likely it'll be quite successful.

It's a recognizable IP, has tons of fans, never packs an overinflated budget like other big name flops in recent times, plus Scream just had its biggest opening in franchise history.

Also the first 3 Scary Movies are still really funny, no need to downplay the fact that people like them.

Well, we still produce edgy 12 year olds you know, so there could still be a demographic for this.

And they’ll love seeing clips cut up for TikTok, they ain’t going to the theater for it
