Wayans Return as Scary Movie Rebooquel Opens in Theaters

It restores the franchise's irreverent voice by satirizing recent horror hits, political culture, internet fame.

Overview

  • Paramount began rolling out Scary Movie: Terroríficamente incorrecta in Latin America on Thursday, June 4, 2026, with a United States and Spain release on Friday, June 5, 2026.
  • The Wayans brothers rejoin the project as writers and producers, Michael Tiddes directs, and original stars Anna Faris and Regina Hall return alongside Marlon and Shawn Wayans.
  • Trailers and promotions — including a Times Square glass‑cube stunt — show the film parodying a wide range of recent and classic properties such as M3GAN, Get Out, Smile, The Substance, Scream, Jason and Leatherface.
  • The movie carries adult or restricted ratings in several markets for explicit sexual and drug humor, and early reviews say it aims to recapture the franchise’s crude, boundary-pushing tone while also lampooning contemporary politics and social media culture.
  • The Wayans' comeback builds on the series' early success and the post‑Weinstein industry shift, a move that is likely to trade on nostalgia to pull older fans back to theaters while testing whether that brand of satire connects with younger audiences.
