Weekend Box-Office: SCREAM VI Opens With Franchise Best $44.5 Million

Weekend Box Office Scream 6

In the battle of the sequels, "Scream VI" knocked out "Creed III" to dominate the box-office this weekend, but the champ is still in pretty good shape. The sci-fi action thriller "65" also opened this week and performed well enough. The sports comedy "Champions" starring Woody Harrelson, however, couldn't find its audience.

Read more about the weekend box-office after the jump.






"Scream VI" opened in the top spot with $44.5 million from 3,675 theaters, a record for the franchise, after last year's reboot/sequel "Scream" opened with $30 million. The previous record was held by the 2000 threequel "Scream 3" ($34.7 million). The sixth installment also added $22.6 million from overseas markets. "Scream VI" was well-received by critics (75% from critics), but the audience reception was lukewarm ("B+" CinemaScore).

"Creed III" finished in second place with $27.1 million. The film dropped 53.4% in its sophomore frame, which is steeper than the second weekend drop of the previous two films. The film's domestic total has reached $101.3 million, while overseas it added another $78 million. That's a worldwide total of $179.3 million.

Sony's "65" opened in third place with $12.3 million from 3,405 theaters. The film performed slightly better thank projected, and added another $7.2 million from overseas markets. It's not a stellar performance, but the film only cost $45 million to produce. "65" was mauled by critics (36% on Rotten Tomatoes), and moviegoers mostly hated it ("C+" CinemaScore).

Marvel's "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" dropped to fourth place with $7 million. The decline this week is maybe not so steep (45.4%), but the film is definitely not the hit Marvel was hoping for. The film has grossed a total of $197.9 million domestically and another $249.6 million internationally, which adds up to a global total of $447.5 million.

The Top 5 is rounded out by "Cocaine Bear" with $6.2 million, down a steep 44.3% from the previous weekend. The film has raked in $51.6 million in North America, and another $14 million overseas.

The last of the new wide releases, "Champions" opened in seventh place with $5.1 million from 3,028 theaters. While the critical reception was mixed (53% RottenTomatoes), moviegoers mostly enjoyed it ("A" CinemaScore).
