Scream 7 Roars Past Profit Expectations

Scream 7 has concluded its theatrical run, achieving an impressive worldwide total of $213.8 million. The film, which opened to $63.6 million domestically, has become the highest-grossing horror movie of 2026. It also ranks as the seventh highest-grossing film overall this year.

While the film earned a solid $101.3 million theatrical surplus, it falls behind the profit generated by the original Scream and Scream 2. Nevertheless, Scream 7 is the third-highest in terms of box office profit within the franchise. This makes it the most profitable horror release of 2026, outperforming other recent horror films.

The plot of Scream 7 centers on a new Ghostface killer targeting Sidney Prescott's daughter, forcing Sidney to confront her past to protect her family and stop the escalating violence.
