Scary Movie added $3.3M on Day 6, taking its US domestic total to $67.3M and worldwide gross to $117.8M.

The Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley-directed reboot is showing healthy early-week moderation. The $3.3M figure on Day 6 reflects steady turnout for the mix of parody, scares, and nostalgia. Anna Faris returning as the lead, alongside a fresh ensemble, has given the film a blend of familiarity and new energy that is clearly working for both longtime fans of the original series and younger audiences.
Market-wise, the hold is strongest in suburban and mid-sized markets where family and teen groups are turning out in noticeable numbers. Urban multiplexes have seen a slightly sharper drop, as expected for a comedy-horror title that leans heavily on broad, accessible humour. The film’s marketing campaign, built around clever social media clips and nostalgia-driven trailers, has proven cost-effective.
Critics have been largely positive on the film’s ability to update the franchise without losing its self-referential charm. Review aggregates show solid scores among horror-comedy fans, with many noting the film’s clever callbacks to the original series while introducing new characters that feel fresh. Audience feedback on social platforms echoes this sentiment, with many users praising the balance of laughs and genuine jump scares.
Looking ahead, the weekday trend over the next few days will be critical. A film of this budget needs to maintain a floor that allows it to push toward the $150M+ domestic mark to be considered a clear commercial success. The current trajectory suggests Scary Movie is on pace to do exactly that, with the strong early-week performance indicating that word-of-mouth is helping the film find its audience.
