Uncatena Posted April 10, 2023 Posted April 10, 2023 might this actually come for the best gross of the franchise with the consistency?
kyris89 Posted April 10, 2023 Posted April 10, 2023 It is the 7th highest grossing horror franchise and #1 slasher franchise
HungryByTheBuffet Posted April 10, 2023 Posted April 10, 2023 It's time to face it, Sam ain't dying when Neve is busy declining entries and Jenna's salary is skyrocketing, there will be no one left for 8 unless it's a new cast again with Sydney's kids but a time jump would be weird for the franchise Unless we're headed for another 10 year hiatus after 7
DR0GO Posted April 10, 2023 Posted April 10, 2023 12 hours ago, bad guy said: It'll dethrone 3 as the third highest grossing film in the franchise pretty soon. Let's see it dethrone 2 next

Mother Sam has cemented herself as the best character of the franchise in VI. Gale nor Sidney are qualified to lead the movies going forward and only those who can’t see past their nostalgia disagree. Sam leveled up to be the best Final Girl and simultaneously best Ghostface of the franchise. No one compares I fear
Richie.Valdez Posted April 10, 2023 Posted April 10, 2023 Yeah with the box office success I don’t see them bringing Neve Campbell back. They don’t really need her anymore
genetic fail Posted April 11, 2023 Posted April 11, 2023 Aren't they working on a Scream series as well? I hope they leave the movies alone for a few years after the 7th installment and focus on the series instead.

We need a solo female or duo female Ghostface next time because its obvious they run the show Ive been begging for this for so long. On 4/6/2023 at 7:30 AM, Oktober Knight said: Jenna Ortega is doing Wednesday S2 and Beetlejuice 2 this year so I doubt Scream 7 will be filmed anytime soon. I'm guessing a 2025 release. Don't these films take a month to film? Thanksgiving or Christmas would be a good time frame to release the next one. I'm sure they will work around her schedule. On 4/6/2023 at 11:55 AM, wantedyoutogrow said: if the rumors that they want to start production on 7 by october are true, i'm pretty sure they are aiming for a summer 2024 release I also think they would want strike while the iron is still hot + there were rumors about a new tv series at paramount+ so i'm assuming they would want to start working on that soon Another tv series? Enough. Leave this as a film franchise. The TV series was so unnecessary 🙄 respect Wes jfc. On 4/6/2023 at 11:59 AM, Josh said: Do you think Scream would have been left at 4 if the Halloween 2018 trilogy hadn't been so successful? One doesn't have anything to do with the other. Besides Halloween 2018 was the last good film. The sequels it spawned completely litigated all the good will that requel did. Such a shame. On 4/6/2023 at 2:13 PM, Josh said: The story's just as much as Tara's as it is Sam's Tara is to Sam what Gale was to Sidney. Main supporting role. On 4/6/2023 at 3:28 PM, TheOnlyOne said: The Core 4 outsold the dusty trio I fear We're literally only here because of the blueprint the original set. Have some respect, the passive agression is not necessary at all. Enjoy the success the franchise is having without belittling it's previous predecessors. On 4/6/2023 at 4:22 PM, kishi said: I'm really proud! The 3rd and 4th films box office decline and having two 11 year hiatuses were disheartening. But I'm glad the 5th and 6th are able to breathe life into this iconic franchise! I mean what were you expecting to happen? The 3rd was supposed to be the end of a trilogy. Continuing after that wouldn't have made any sense. I'd rather the franchise only be a thing when theirs ideas to be had and explored. Not just for the sake of fanservice. I don't want SCREAM to become a JAMES BOND type of franchise. On 4/6/2023 at 4:29 PM, Josh said: The Ghostface attack at the Bodega is one of the scariest GF scenes since the 1st film imo The Core Four apartment attack sequence as well as Gale's are fantastic horror sequences
SchmoodRing Posted April 11, 2023 Posted April 11, 2023 On 4/6/2023 at 4:35 PM, Josh said: it was nice to seeing a Ghostface character to match the height of the stunt performer (it was confirmed Bailey was the GF bodega) Rather obvious given how smooth they were sporting the rifle gun. Huge giveaway that it had to be someone with weapons training On 4/6/2023 at 6:54 PM, Chris said: Scream 3 > Scream 5 > a turd >>> Scream 4. Are you serious 😐 On 4/8/2023 at 12:15 AM, Bhabylon said: I went to watch Super Mario and Jack Quaid was at there Im convinced he was stoned because he was cracking up the whole time Someone afterwards asked him for a pic and he said no Where was this? And good for him. He was there to enjoy himself and sounds like he did. On 4/8/2023 at 11:47 AM, Chris said: Any news yet on Neve's involvement in 7cream? I only want to see her return if it's with Cincaid and her family. I don't think Ghostface has ever targeted children or parents so it'd be refreshing in that regard. On 4/8/2023 at 12:09 PM, kyris89 said: Yeah! Highest grossing horror franchises: 1 The Conjuring Universe $2,132,543,448 2 Alien $1,653,812,293 3 Resident Evil $1,279,601,895 4 It $1,173,474,976 5 Saw $1,012,620,413 6 Hannibal $924,422,301 7 Scream $899,455,731 8 Dracula $891,973,763 9 Paranormal Activity $890,533,646 10 Halloween $877,128,953 Hopefully with S7 it can go top 5 (even though there is an other Saw movie coming this year) Crazy how most of these franchises have terrible sequels. Scream is probably the most consistent quality wise.

I mean it's pretty obvious we are getting a sequel anyways. Hold your horses lol On 4/9/2023 at 2:47 PM, Memoirs387 said: Obviously I want 7 to be announced but do we think it should come out in 2 years? Like March 2025? I don’t want fatigue from back to back Screams Q4 would be ideal tbh fatigue? We're good. After this trilogy is said and done. I don't mind a pause. Continuing after that would be fatigue. On 4/9/2023 at 3:28 PM, Pop said: I think Sam and Sydney will team up in Scream 7 to take down Ghostface, but during the movie Sam will SNAP and start killing innocent people because she suspects they are the killer. Eventually, Sam and Sydney uncover the true Ghostface, kill him, but Sydney tells Sam she has to report her to the police for killing those innocent suspects and Sam goes full Ghostface on Sydney and they do a final girl vs final girl fight and Sydney kills Sam. ... you have some cute ideas. I think Sam accidentally killing the wrong person is awesome. We've never had a final girl kill an innocent before. Having a survivor become Ghostface would also be brand new territory. While the idea of Sidney killing Sam is ironic given she killer Billy and it'd be a full circle moment I'd rather them work together as final girls. On 4/9/2023 at 5:17 PM, genetic fail said: Maybe they're securing Neve's contract first before announcing Scream VII Announcing 7 with the return of Neve would be iconic as ****

I've made peace with her most likely never returning again. From killing her boyfriend, his mom, her half brother, her niece and stab stans like Gale said "let her have her happy ending." After 6 I'm also ok with Gale not coming back either. Just cause her continuing to survive would be ridiculous and I'm not sure if RadioSilence or the fans can stomach her character being killed off. Theirs also no need for an 8 anytime soon. SCREAM isn't a Marvel movie 😐 Also not ya wanting another trilogy with Sidney's kids being the next target 💀 If Neve is already declining appearances you really think bringing her kids to the focus without her makes any sense? Especially given that she has 2 daughters it'd be a retread of what they're already doing right now with Sam and Tara. I wouldn't mind another hiatus just so that their isn't any fatigue but also wouldn't mind the series taking a different direction by passing the torch for Kirby to carry her own trilogy but from a true crime point of view would be a refreshing perspective.

I know I've posted bringing her back to kill her off to raise the stakes but I'm good. Sidney is not the only one who deserves a happy ending. So does Gale. 6 hours ago, genetic fail said: Aren't they working on a Scream series as well?

And even then for some reason didn't even conclude that properly. Keep this franchise as FILMS, PLEASE. 2 hours ago, wantedyoutogrow said: it's not confirmed but there were rumors about a paramount+ series which honestly makes sense. paramount won't buy the rights to the franchise to only make 3 movies. my ideal timeline: • Scream VII – sometime in 2024 • TV series – 3-4 seasons in 2026-2029 • Scream 8 – in 2036 It wouldn't make sense though. The franchise would suffer from fatigue. I say keep this franchise generational that way it'll always be brand new and each decade will have their respective trilogy and Ghostface.
halcyonday Posted April 11, 2023 Posted April 11, 2023 i will need another one next year these last 2 have been back to back 10/10s, so much fun and uniqueness

Both franchises had nothing to do with each other but the big heads on top saw money could be made using the same legacy characters formula.

Switch like - No, Gale and Sidney can't lead because they cannot sell tickets. Young audiences, who make up most of the sales, barely even recognize Courteney from how she looked in Friends and they sure as **** don't even know or care who Neve Campbell even is. There is not a market for a slasher film to follow 50+ year old women. That's why they will never lead again. The story moved on from them because there's no interesting, and more importantly, profitable story to tell about them anymore. At best, they will be B or C plot characters because that's all they are good for anymore. I definitely wont be switching cause I've been stanning Mother Samantha even when the girls were hating her in 2022. Sam is the superior CHARACTER and that's what I care about. Unlike you girls who let nostalgia blind you, I can recognize that there's literally nothing unique about Sidney as a final girl. She falls into the same tired trope that every final girl in every horror movie does. To borrow from the VI trailers, Same is literally "something different" and is a totally unique spin on the final girl representative. Unlike Sidney, who as great as she was for the time she was in, brought absolutely nothing new to the table that final girlies like Laurie and Nancy didn't already do years prior. Sid's still a legend and in my top 5 favorite horror characters of all time, but she's been surpassed by the new Mother of Scream. Both metaphorically, and in box office numbers.

The clash of two final girls from two different generations would be something we never saw before and it would indeed be a full circle moment to have Sydney have to face her final fight against another Loomis.
Shelter Posted April 11, 2023 Posted April 11, 2023 I am not reading the topic yet as I haven't seen it, but I seen that it is now the highest grossing of the franchise in the US. Needs another 10 million to be the highest WW.
genetic fail Posted April 11, 2023 Posted April 11, 2023 Could this be why they’re not announcing Scream VII yet? Hmmm…

Okay you're really dragging it now 🙄 why discredit the legacy of one to praise the other? Both final girls can co exist without it being a competition. It's unnecessary. When I went to see it in theaters the youngest person was college aged but everyone looked like they were in their 20s and up for sure. Because of FRIENDS Courtney legacy as an actress in general is cemented so let's not even go there 🙄 not you saying that their is no market when Jamie Lee Curtis Halloween 18 requel trilogy proves your theory wrong. They can't be the leads anymore because they already had their time and stories told already. Tf they look going on Scream 9 and the original trio are still targets and surviving, it'd get old and redundant real quick. The amount of erasure and disrespectful discrediting that you're doing to the original to appease and put the new trilogy on a pedestal is coming off as real biased at this point. In 5CREAM, Samantha was not a good character and nor was she acted well. That is the general unanimous concensus. 6CREAM was both her redemption as a character and for Melissa as an actress. Not you trying to come at fans with nostalgia when you clearly have rose colored glasses on 😒 again what is up with all of this slander against the original? What makes Sidney special is her arc of being a self aware statistic of a final girl while also breaking the mold.

The clash of two final girls from two different generations would be something we never saw before and it would indeed be a full circle moment to have Sydney have to face her final fight against another Loomis. I get that but I think avoiding the trope of two equal females not being able to get along would be welcomed. Sidney has alot of perspective to give to Samantha as a fellow final girl, survivor, wife and mother so seeing them work together would be alot more interesting then them being at odds. Sidney could also in a way play a motherly figure to Sam considering hers was absent and sounds like a hot mess. Sam at this point is Ghostface in sheep's clothing. I think a part of her clearly enjoys being the target because it exempts her of any guilt, shame, remorse about acting on her more primal instincts and dark impulses because she exonerates it as self defense which is true but a grey area considering her history and bloodline. I am wanting everyday more and more for the international idea to be true. The next installment taking place in their motherland of Mexico with Salma Hayek playing their mom and rounding out the cast with other fellow Mexican American actors like Gael García as Papa Carpenter, Constance Marie/ Kate Del Castillo/ Jessica Alba or Maite Perroni as a Carpenter Auntie, then Alexa Demie, Eiza Gonzalez, Francia Raisa, Selena Gomez or Becky G as a Cousin Carpenter with the twins returning would be a gag 😄 they could also go the route of making both her mom and their aunt first sister duo female ghostfaces and it can be sisters vs sisters for the final showdown
Uncatena Posted April 12, 2023 Posted April 12, 2023 after VI im absolutely NOT here for another director to jump in now unless its someone extremely great. Radio Silence care for these movies.
Hurem Posted April 12, 2023 Posted April 12, 2023 Yeah, I'd be really sad to see Radio Silence leave the franchise already. I hope they make another Scream and then they can give it to someone else.
