Overview
- Industry tracking points to a mid-$30 million domestic opening, which would trail only “Scream VI” and its $44.4 million debut in the franchise.
- Survey data shows a higher first-choice rating than “Scream VI,” “The Conjuring: Last Rites,” and “Final Destination: Bloodlines” at similar lead times.
- Tickets are set to go on sale Monday following the film’s pre-game Super Bowl spot that is part of the studio’s marketing push.
- The release is scheduled for February 27 with Neve Campbell returning as Sidney Prescott and original writer Kevin Williamson directing for the first time in the series.
- Box-office context includes projections for “Wuthering Heights” near $40 million and “Goat” around $30 million, with some caution that current tracking may be inflated.
