This officially crushes the previous opening weekend record, which was just set by Scream VI back in 2023. Scream 7 is now officially one of the biggest horror openings of the entire year.

So, what caused this massive surge at the movie theaters?

The Queen is Back: Neve Campbell Returns

Two words: Sidney Prescott.

After sitting out the previous installment, the original franchise queen, Neve Campbell, has officially returned to face off against a brand-new Ghostface killer. To make things even better for hardcore fans, Kevin Williamson—the genius who wrote the original 1996 movie—stepped into the director's chair for this one.

Even though the movie received mixed reviews from professional critics, audience nostalgia proved to be undefeated. Fans flooded the theaters just to see their favorite legacy characters back in action.

While Ghostface was busy slashing box office records, a completely different type of movie was quietly making history of its own.

The prestige historical drama Hamnet just officially surpassed the highly coveted $100 million mark worldwide. Inspired by the tragic, real-life story of William Shakespeare’s son, this stunning film has been gaining serious, heavy momentum during awards season.

It is a massive achievement for a historical drama, proving that audiences are still incredibly hungry for deep, emotional storytelling alongside their weekend popcorn thrillers.

It was an absolutely massive weekend for the movie theater industry, highlighting strong audience interest in both terrifying slashers and award-season dramas.
