If those numbers hold, it could be the second highest opening in the 30-year-old franchise stateside after Scream VI\u2018s record $44.4M opening; that 2023 installment fueled by the Jenna Ortega Wednesday phenomenon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tCurrently, Scream 7 is great with the 17-34 bunch and multicultural audiences across definite interest and first choice. Tickets don\u2019t go on sale until Monday after the pic\u2019s pre-Game Super Bowl spot. Advance ticket sales are typically a better indication of demand. Right now tracking has Scream 7 coming on higher than Scream VI, The Conjuring: Last Rites ($84M) and Final Destination: Bloodlines ($51.6M) in First Choice. There\u2019s an argument that with lower grossing movies like Send Help and Iron Lung presently on tracking, most forecasts are inflated. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tWhile Scream VI took the action to New York City, Scream 7 brings it back to the small town, repping the full comeback of Neve Campbell\u2019s Sidney Prescott. Another big highlight of Scream 7 is that it brings scribe Kevin Williamson into the director\u2019s chair on his own franchise for the first time; a big deal to fans. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tEveryone is eyeing next weekend, the Valentine\u2019s Day and Presidents Day frame, which truly looks to be the first time that the box office gets a jolt in 2026 with Warner Bros\u2019 Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi steamy romance pic Wuthering Heights eyeing a $40M start, and Sony\u2019s original Stephen Curry produced animated title Goat looking at $30M 3-day. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Paramount and Spyglass Media\u2019s Scream 7 came on domestic tracking with a mid $30M opening in store when&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":451211,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[88,206,50916],"class_list":{"0":"post-451210","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-movies","10":"tag-scream-7"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/451210","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=451210"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/451210\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/451211"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=451210"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=451210"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=451210"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
