Scary Movie collected $24.7M on its opening day, taking its US domestic total to $24.7M.
The long-running horror-comedy franchise returns with a fresh cast and familiar chaotic energy.
Opening Day Snapshot
Day 1 Add (US Domestic)$24.7M
Worldwide Gross (Day 1)$24.7M
Budget$45.0M
The Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley-directed reboot opened with a healthy $24.7M, showing that the Scary Movie brand still carries recognition with audiences. Anna Faris and the ensemble leaned into the self-aware parody style that defined the earlier entries, and early audience reactions indicate the mix of scares and laughs landed with the target crowd.
At a $45M budget, this is a solid start for a comedy-horror in the current market, though the true test will be how it holds over the weekend.
Reality check: A $24.7M opening day against a $45M budget is an encouraging first signal. Weekend holds will decide whether this becomes a clear average performer or pushes higher.
