Actor's $34 Scream 2 Royalty: A Hollywood Surprise
19 Jun
Summary
- An actor received $34.09 in residuals from Scream 2.
- Neve Campbell earned $7 million for Scream 7.
- Scream 7 grossed over $200 million worldwide.
Craig Shoemaker, an actor featured in Scream 2, humorously disclosed that he continues to receive royalty payments from the 1997 film. He shared a statement showing a residual payment of $34.09 from his role as a film professor.
This revelation highlights the long-term, albeit small, financial trickle-down from iconic films. In stark contrast, Neve Campbell reportedly secured $7 million for her return in Scream 7, following a salary dispute that led her to skip Scream VI. Courteney Cox also earned $2 million for reprising her role.
The latest film in the franchise, Scream 7, achieved remarkable success, earning over $200 million at the box office and marking a new high for the horror series. This financial triumph has reportedly prompted Paramount to begin development on Scream 8, with writers Lilla and Nora Zuckerman attached to the script.
