Overview
- Paramount+ announced on Aug. 19 that Scary Movie will begin streaming exclusively on the service on Sept. 3 after a 91-day theatrical run.
- The June release opened strongly and finished its theatrical run with more than $230 million worldwide, helping the franchise top $1 billion at the global box office.
- The sixth film reunites the Wayans family in writing credits and returns original leads Anna Faris and Regina Hall, with Michael Tiddes directing.
- Industry reports place the film’s production cost at about $30 million before marketing, and it became the first pure R-rated comedy to clear $100 million at the box office since 2017’s Girls Trip.
- All prior Scary Movie films already stream on Paramount+, so the exclusive debut consolidates the franchise on the platform and could drive subscriber interest ahead of the Halloween season.
