Scary Movie 2026 Box Office Collection

Scary MovieScary Movie

Scary Movie (also known as Scary Movie 6) is a Hollywood R-rated horror-comedy parody film, released on June 5, 2026 starring returning favorites from the franchise alongside new cast members. Directed by Michael Tiddes with significant involvement from the Wayans brothers (Marlon, Shawn, and Keenen Ivory Wayans writing and producing), the film brings back the irreverent, over-the-top spoof style that defined the early entries in the series.

It parodies recent horror trends and pop culture while delivering the crude, rapid-fire humor fans loved in the originals. The movie had its Hollywood premiere on June 3 and opened wide across North America on June 5. Scary Movie got off to a very strong start at the box office, driven heavily by nostalgia for the original Wayans-led entries and positive word-of-mouth among comedy and horror fans. It delivered the biggest opening day in the franchise’s history and is tracking for the highest opening weekend ever for the series.

The film benefited from a wide release in over 3,400 theaters and strong Friday numbers that outpaced expectations. Internationally, it is also performing well in key markets where the franchise has historically been popular. As of June 7, early signs point to a solid win for Paramount and Miramax, proving there is still significant appetite for the Scary Movie brand when it leans into its roots.

Our Review

Scary Movie 6 returns the franchise to its chaotic, laugh-out-loud roots with the Wayans brothers back in creative control. The film leans hard into the rapid-fire parody style that made the first two entries cultural touchstones, taking aim at recent horror hits, streaming trends, and pop culture absurdities with gleeful irreverence.

While the humor is as crude and juvenile as ever, it lands with surprising consistency for longtime fans, delivering the kind of silly, self-aware gags and memorable one-liners that defined the series at its peak. The return of familiar faces adds genuine nostalgia value, and the new cast integrates well into the mayhem. It’s not trying to be smart horror or elevated satire — it’s proudly dumb, loud, and fun, which is exactly what many audiences were hoping for from a new Scary Movie.

Critics have been mixed, with some finding the jokes repetitive and the satire surface-level, while audiences have responded more warmly, appreciating the nostalgic energy and consistent laughs. At the box office, the film has opened exceptionally well for a comedy in the current market, posting the biggest opening day and projected biggest opening weekend in franchise history.

The strong Friday of $24.7 million shows that nostalgia for the Wayans era of Scary Movie still carries real weight, especially among younger viewers discovering the series and older fans revisiting it. Compared to recent parody or comedy attempts, this feels like a genuine comeback for the brand rather than a cash-grab.

Looking ahead, Scary Movie is well-positioned for a healthy theatrical run and should perform strongly on Paramount+ once it hits streaming, where the franchise has always had a dedicated following. For fans of unapologetic, R-rated comedy and silly horror spoofs, this is a welcome return to form that delivers exactly what it promises: big laughs, bigger absurdity, and a Ghostface mask full of nostalgia.
