‘Scary Movie’ Breaks Franchise Record With $105M Global Debut, Hits PH Cinemas June 10, R-16, No Cuts

The laughs are back, and so is the iconic Core Four.

The latest installment of Scary Movie has stormed the global box office with a franchise-best $105 million opening weekend, marking a triumphant return for one of cinema’s most beloved horror-comedy series.

Leading the charge are returning fan favorites Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Anna Faris, and Regina Hall, who reunite on screen for the first time in 25 years. Their long-awaited comeback has clearly resonated with audiences, helping the sixth film achieve the biggest opening weekend in the franchise’s history.

Directed by Michael Tiddes, a frequent collaborator of Marlon Wayans, the film surpassed industry expectations in North America with a strong $55 million debut. International audiences contributed an additional $50.5 million, pushing the worldwide total to $105 million and setting a new benchmark for the series.

Philippine moviegoers can catch the horror-comedy hit when it opens in cinemas nationwide on June 10. The film has been classified R-16 with no cuts.

A Perfect Blend of Horror and Comedy

For Marlon Wayans, the enduring appeal of Scary Movie lies in its ability to find laughter in even the most unexpected situations.

“Like they say, laughter is the best medicine,” he explains. “When you can find humor in unexpected situations, that’s when you really become funny. We’re sending up the world around us and it’s dark sometimes, but we know how to bring in the light. Tension, comedy and horror have a similar rhythm. Once you feel that tension, then you know you’re going to be scared. And then here comes a fart joke. Tension, tension, tension, scare, joke. That’s horror-comedy.”

He adds, “Tension, comedy and horror have a similar rhythm. Once you feel that tension, then you know you’re going to be scared. And then here comes a fart joke. Tension, tension, tension, scare, joke. That’s horror-comedy.”

That formula has been at the heart of the franchise since the beginning. By poking fun at horror classics and pop culture trends while delivering outrageous comedy, Scary Movie has built a loyal following across generations.

The Core Four Returns

One of the film’s biggest draws is the reunion of the franchise’s most recognizable stars. Seeing Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Anna Faris, and Regina Hall together again has fueled excitement among longtime fans eager to revisit the series’ signature brand of humor.

Combined with fresh gags, new horror targets, and plenty of outrageous moments, the latest chapter proves that Scary Movie still knows how to deliver big laughs while celebrating the genre it loves to parody.

Opens June 10 in Philippine Cinemas

‘Scary Movie’ Brings Back Fearless R-Rated Comedy to Cinemas This June 10, Uncut and Rated R-16

After more than two decades of shocking audiences and redefining parody films, Scary Movie is making a bold return to cinemas. Opening in Philippine theaters on June 10, the latest installment arrives rated R-16 with no cuts, delivering the outrageous humor and no-holds-barred comedy that made the franchise a worldwide hit.

Watch the final trailer:

For franchise creator and star Marlon Wayans, the goal has always been simple: make audiences laugh, even when the jokes hit close to home.

“When you come to this movie, you’ll laugh at the other guy and you’ll laugh at yourself,” promises Marlon Wayans, who, together with his brothers Shawn and Keenen Ivory, created the first Scary Movie more than 25 years ago. “I’ve spent the last 15 years on a comedy stage every weekend so I know where the laughs are. I think we’re delivering something special to the theaters.”

A Comedy That Refuses to Play It Safe

Director Michael Tiddes believes the secret to Scary Movie’s success lies in its willingness to take risks and challenge expectations.

“I’ve always believed that great R-rated comedy should feel fearless. It should surprise you, make you slightly uncomfortable, catch you off guard, and then have you laughing before you even realize what just happened.”

Working alongside the Wayans family and producer Rick Alvarez, Tiddes says there was never any intention to tone things down.

“That’s one of the reasons I’ve loved working with the Wayans family and Rick [Alvarez, producer] for so many years – there’s never been an interest in playing it safe or sanding down the edges to make everyone comfortable. The comedy works because it’s bold, unapologetic, self-aware, and willing to go places most movies won’t.”

That creative approach became the driving force behind the newest chapter in the beloved franchise.

Bigger Laughs, Wilder Surprises

According to Tiddes, the team set out to create a film that captures the unpredictable energy that audiences loved about the original movies.

“We wanted Scary Movie to feel dangerous again, like anything could happen, nobody is safe, and every scene is trying to top the last in the funniest, wildest way possible.”

The filmmakers continuously challenged themselves to raise the bar, crafting bigger set pieces and sharper jokes throughout production.

“Rick, Marlon, and the entire team were constantly pushing creatively to make every joke sharper and every sequence bigger. For me, this movie also feels like a celebration of something audiences have been missing for a while: unapologetic, crowd-pleasing, hard-R comedy on the big screen.”

He believes the return of the genre comes at the perfect time, especially when shared laughter in packed cinemas feels more valuable than ever.

“There’s something special about sitting in a packed theater hearing people gasp, laugh, and lose it together. I really believe R-rated comedy is back, and Scary Movie is leading the charge by crossing every line.”

Staying True to the Franchise’s Roots

While the new film aims to surprise modern audiences, Wayans says it remains faithful to the spirit that made the original such a cultural phenomenon.

“It was the first of its kind: a parody brought to you by African-Americans featuring a diverse cast,” says Marlon. “We explored culture and humor and characters that hadn’t really been seen in mainstream movies. This one is no different.”

That commitment to pushing boundaries continues in the latest installment.

“We kicked the doors open all those years ago and we’re keeping up the tradition that we always stood by. Everybody’s going to get it in this movie. Just enjoy it when it’s your turn, laugh with it and at it and then feel free to laugh again.”

For Wayans, comedy remains one of the most powerful ways to bring people together.

“Scary Movie, made with the Wayans’ formula and the Wayans’ recipe, is what the world needs now to come together and laugh together.”

In Cinemas June 10

Loaded with outrageous jokes, pop culture references, and the franchise’s signature brand of fearless comedy, Scary Movie is ready to remind audiences why it became a comedy classic in the first place.

The Core Four Are Back in Action in New ‘Scary Movie’ Parody Posters

Rated E for Everybody

The countdown has officially begun for the return of one of comedy’s most iconic franchises. With only two weeks left before Scary Movie opens in Philippine cinemas on June 10, Paramount Pictures has released a new set of parody posters that tease the outrageous humor fans have come to expect from the series.

Known for poking fun at the biggest horror movies and pop culture moments of its time, Scary Movie is back with a fresh target list. This time, nothing is off-limits.

The Gang Reunites for More Chaos

Making their long-awaited return are franchise favorites Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Anna Faris, and Regina Hall, affectionately known by fans as the Core Four. Their reunion marks a major moment for the series, bringing together the characters who helped turn Scary Movie into a global comedy phenomenon.

Joining them are familiar faces and newcomers, including Kenan Thompson, Damon Wayans Jr., Sydney Park, and more.

Packed with the franchise’s trademark mix of absurd comedy and sharp satire, the latest installment takes aim at everything from reboots and remakes to sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror films, and the seemingly endless wave of “final chapters” that rarely stay final.

No Horror Franchise Is Safe

For more than two decades, Scary Movie has built its reputation on turning popular horror films upside down. The upcoming film continues that tradition with a playful look at modern horror trends and cinematic universes.

Fans can expect plenty of callbacks, unexpected twists, and the over-the-top comedy that made the original films instant favorites.

As the newly released posters suggest, the filmmakers are casting a wide net. Every familiar horror trope is fair game, and every genre convention is ready to be hilariously dismantled.

Official Synopsis

Twenty-six years after outrunning a suspiciously familiar masked killer (“Ghostface”), the Core Four are back in the killer’s crosshairs and no horror movie IP is safe.

Marlon Wayans (“Shorty”), Shawn Wayans (“Ray”), Anna Faris (“Cindy”), and Regina Hall (“Brenda”) reunite in Scary Movie alongside returning favorites and fresh faces to slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word “legacy” in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final.

Nothing is sacred. No trope survives. Every line gets crossed. The Wayans are back to cancel the Cancel Culture.
