Scary Movie 6 Scares Up Box Office Dominance

The latest installment of the Wayans Bros.' horror parody series, Scary Movie, has officially claimed the number one position at the domestic box office. This new iteration of the franchise has outperformed expectations, unseating the previously dominant horror thriller, Backrooms.

Backrooms, which had a remarkable opening weekend, is now projected to see a substantial drop in its second weekend earnings. Despite this decline, the film remains profitable due to its low production cost. In contrast, the highly anticipated live-action Masters of the Universe movie entered the box office at number two, with projections indicating a modest opening weekend that may prove challenging given its substantial budget.

Another film, Obsession, continues to show remarkable staying power, maintaining strong audience interest in its fourth weekend. Its sustained performance has significantly boosted its domestic total against a very small production budget, marking it as a critical success. The box office results for the weekend of 2026-06-06T00:22:44+00:00 are still being finalized, with final numbers expected shortly.
