Scary Movie (aka Scary Movie 6) will begin streaming September 3 on Paramount+. That marks a 91-day window between theatrical and streaming for the Paramount/Miramax pic.
The latest reboot, which brought the Wayans Brothers back together, brought in over $230 million at the worldwide box office following its release. The pic before P&A spend, cost $30M. Twenty-six years after launching, the franchise crossed the $1 billion mark at the global box office in June.
Scary Movie 6, which comes 13 years since Scary Movie 5 and 26 years since the original film, is the first pure R-rated comedy (not a hybrid action or superhero genre movie) to cross $100M since 2017’s Girls Trip. Scary Movie opened to $105.5M worldwide, repping a franchise record.
Written by Marlon & Shawn & Craig & Keenan Ivory Wayans along with Rick Alvarez and directed by Michael Tiddes, the film saw the return of four key characters – Shorty (Marlon Wayans), Ray (Shawn Wayans), Brenda (Regina Hall), and Cindy (Anna Faris).
