Scary Movie 6 Sets Franchise Record With $56 Million Opening Weekend
Scary Movie 6 achieved a franchise-record opening weekend, earning $56 million. The film's momentum began with $7.7 million in Thursday previews and a strong $24.7 million Friday, easily surpassing the $14 million opening of the fifth installment. With a reported budget of $75 million, industry analysts suggest the film is well-positioned to reach its break-even threshold. The success of the reboot comes as a stark contrast to the performance of Amazon MGM's Masters of the Universe, which struggled with an estimated $30 million to $31 million opening against a massive $170 million budget. Analysts attribute the horror comedy's win to strong nostalgia and an active social media presence from the cast, including Marlon Wayans and Regina Hall.
