It’s no secret that there’s been buzz about Scream 8 already being in the works. We previously reported that Kevin Williamson & Neve Campbell are already talking about “Scream 8.” Since the two launched the Scream franchise 30 years ago, it’s pretty obvious that if they’re talking, we’re getting another movie. Of course the two said that it would happen only if they saw Scream 7 do well at the box office. So now that we have some initial numbers, it’s looking pretty good that we’re going to see Scream 8 sooner than we might have thought.
The Scream franchise has generally performed very well at the box office, with lifetime grosses often exceeding $100 million per film.
Historically at the Box Office
- Scream (1996) made $103 million.
- Scream 2 (1997) made $101 million.
- Scream 3 (2000) made $89.1 million.
- Scream 4 (2011) made $38.1 million but this movie was considered a disappointment.
- Scream (5) (2022 ) made $81.6 million and revived the franchise.
- Scream 6 (2023) made $108.1 million.
And since Scream 7 is already breaking all of those records, we’re likely to see more talk about Scream 8 in the next few months – year.
Initial reports say that Scream 7 (Paramount/Spyglass) scored THE BEST opening year to date. They’ve opened with $97.2M at the global weekend box office. Speaking financially the movie is already a winner. Since it was reportedly made for a budget of $45 million they’ve already made a profit of around 52 million. Not bad!
What might Scream 8 be about?
Scream 8 is likely to continue the legacy of Sidney Prescott. Focusing on her family and potentially serving as a sequel It may feature a generational shift, with Sidney acting as a mentor to a new, younger generation of survivors. But who knows really? There is also a rumor that this film would launch a new trilogy for the franchise. Which we would hope is the case. Either way, go see Scream 7 while it’s still in theaters!
