Overview
- Scream 7 delivered a franchise-best debut with $64.1 million domestically and $97.2 million worldwide, outperforming pre-release tracking.
- Premium formats accounted for roughly 40% of domestic grosses, including about $7.1 million from IMAX in the series’ first outing on those screens.
- Neve Campbell’s return under original Scream writer Kevin Williamson helped drive turnout, with the U.K. ($5.3M), France ($4.2M) and Mexico ($3M) leading overseas.
- The film posted franchise-low critic scores (about 33% on Rotten Tomatoes and 36 on Metacritic) and a B- CinemaScore, highlighting a critic–audience split.
- Following protests over Melissa Barrera’s firing and a retooled production, the roughly $45 million title appears on a profitable path, with industry chatter pointing to early talks for an eighth installment that has not been officially confirmed.
