Paramount’s Scream re-imagining claimed the top spot in its debut weekend at the box office, dethroning Sony’s Spider-Man: No Way Home from pole position after four weekends. The horror sequel scared up $35 million in its extended four-day MLK weekend debut, registering a much-needed win for Paramount.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY RELATED: 'SCREAM' Review: The Times Have Changed, but the Franchise Feels Sharp As Ever Since then, the domestic box office has experienced several false stars, with only a handful of bona fide hits. The biggest by a wide margin is Spider-Man: No Way Home, which finished at the number two spot with an estimated four-day haul of $26 million. More importantly, the film crossed the $700 million mark domestically, which puts it at the number four spot on the all-time list, behind only Avatar, Avengers: Endgame and Star: Wars: The Force Awakens.
Rounding out the top five was another spy dud, director Simon Kinberg’s female-led The 355, which is expected to make $2.8 million over four days, for a running domestic total of an abysmal $8.9 million in two weeks. For those keeping score at home, that’s 0 for two for Kinberg, who also directed the franchise-killing X-Men film, Dark Phoenix. Fingers crossed that studios don't take away any wrong learnings from this one; namely, that all-female ensemble pictures don't work.
