Will it make more at the box than the most recent matrix?
Deadline seems to be projecting $20M+ this weekend, and projections are usually lowballed. (In this case it's probably not by much though.)

Matrix only did $21M through its first 5 days. (Still can't believe how badly it underperformed.)

If Scream manages to hit $20M in its opening weekend, I think it probably will outperform Matrix.

Who would've seen that coming a month ago? Crazy.

I think competing against Spider-Man hurt that movie way more than they expected. Scream definitely has an easier road with little competition except the folks who are still going back to see NWH.
I was 99% joking. I could release a video of myself trying to do 10 situps and it would make more money than the Matrix did.

I mean, the major reason matrix didn't make much at the box office, other than the news that it sucked ass, was that it was available to stream at the same time as its theatre run. I saw this first hand with Beasts of no nation. Any time people can watch something relatively for free in their homes, that will dramatically affect the box office numbers.

Don't get me wrong though, matrix was absolutely awful.

Please, please say that Scream is not bad, please, and please say we get a return of Stu! The world needs Matthew Lillard's return to Scream. "It'll be a SCREAM baby!"

Is anyone over the trend of giving a sequel exactly the same title as the original?

Ie.
Halloween (There are now THREE movies named Halloween)
Scream
Final Destination, and "The" Final Destination
Rambo

Kind of random but it bugs me for some reason.


At least this was pointed out.

That was great. I liked it as much or more than 4. (And I like that movie more than most people.)

Just the right amount of meta and comedy.

Honestly, best since the first. Quite a bit of fun….

Not great, but worth the price of admission.

I enjoyed Gale's line of "Hey, watch the tone, new girl!"

Major spoiler:

So was Amber's death a nod to being burned to a crisp in Once Upon a Time In Hollywood? That's two movies now where she plays a psycho ***** who gets roasted to death.

Solid $3.5M yesterday.

https://deadline.com/2022/01/scream-spider-man-weekend-box-office-mlk-1234912797/

That would put it at $30M+ for the weekend if it follows near Halloween Kills' multiplier.

why would you want Gale to die? She has the best character arc nearly of all the characters. I will say though, I really really wanted Matthew Lillard to reprise his role as Stu. We never really did see him totally die, just you know, stabbed and electrocuted but like not totally dead, ya know?

I think when word gets out that it's actually pretty good, more and more will flock to see it. I think lots of folks were on the fence with it being the fifth installment and a pseudo reboot.

Needs to make all the money it can before Moonfall debuts 2/4 and crosses $1 billion in a single day.

$36M+ for the 4 day weekend.

Probably a sure bet they continue with the new rebooted franchise.

There was a big thread on reddit talking about the idea of toxic fans and how Scream 5 is a shot at Star Wars fans for being so toxic towards Rian and Rose
Brian Earl Spilner
How long do you want to ignore this user?

I'd say it was towards toxic fans in general, but definitely made several Star Wars references.

It's probably what kicked off this whole requel wave. (Unless you want to credit Tron Legacy.)

Got a link?

Well, in their defense, the new star wars movies suck ass.

This sounds like it would be a completely different movie.


AKA the Mark May story.

Up to $52M worldwide with $18M internationally thus far.

It likely finishes $100M+ with a Scream 6 looking very likely at this point.
