\n All hail Ghostface. <\/p>\n
\n Paramount\u2019s slasher sequel \u201cScream 7<\/a>\u201d is officially the highest-grossing installment in the long-running franchise with $176.9 million, overtaking the lifetime hauls of the original 1996 \u201cScream\u201d ($173 million) and 1997 sequel \u201cScream 2\u201d ($172 million), not adjusted for inflation. Those ticket sales for \u201cScream 7\u201d include $70.4 million at the international box office and $106.5 million domestically. It\u2019s a testament to the studio\u2019s efforts in reviving the property in 2022. Box office watchers attribute the strong turnout to nostalgia for Neve Campbell\u2019s heroic return as Sidney Prescott (she sat out the prior entry due to a salary dispute), as well as the enduring popularity of the horror genre.<\/p>\n \n In another box office milestone, Chloe Zhao\u2019s Shakespearean tragedy \u201cHamnet\u201d crossed the $100 million mark on Oscar weekend. The film, which is nominated for eight Academy Awards at Sunday evening\u2019s ceremony, has powered to $100.6 million globally \u2014 including a mighty $75.2 million internationally and $24.1 million in North America. Released by Focus Features in the U.S. and Universal in overseas territories starting last December, \u201cHamnet\u201d has climbed to impressive heights at a particularly challenging time for arthouse releases. Jessie Buckley and Paul Mescal star in the film as Agnes and William Shakespeare as they grapple with the loss of their son.<\/p>\n \n \u201cWe couldn\u2019t be prouder of the run \u2018Hamnet\u2019 has enjoyed and how the movie has resonated with global cinemagoers,\u201d says Focus distribution chiefs Niels Swinkels and Lisa Bunnell.\u00a0\u201cThe\u00a0roll-out\u00a0continues 17 weeks since its initial launch.\u201d<\/p>\n \n In terms of newcomers, Universal\u2019s romantic drama \u201cReminders of Him\u201d opened to $10 million from 56 international markets. The film, an adaptation of Colleen Hoover\u2019s best-selling novel, was a bigger draw domestically with $18.2 million, bringing its global total to $28.2 million. It\u2019s a solid start considering the movie cost $25 million to produce.<\/p>\n \n \u201cReminders of Him\u201d follows a single mom who returns home after serving five years in prison for a tragic mistake. This is Hoover\u2019s third novel to get the big-screen treatment, as well as her first as a co-writer on the screenplay. Her prior adaptations, 2024\u2019s \u201cIt Ends With Us\u201d ($350 million) and 2025\u2019s \u201cRegretting You\u201d ($90 million), were commercial successes that catered to the underserved female demographic. Hoover\u2019s next theatrical venture is October\u2019s \u201cVerity,\u201d starring Dakota Johnson and Anne Hathaway, from Amazon MGM.<\/p>\n \n Disney and Pixar\u2019s \u201cHoppers\u201d remained No. 1 at the international box office with $31 million from 45 territories in its second weekend of release. So far, the animated adventure has generated $77.9 million overseas and $164 million globally against a $150 million budget. As long as audiences keep showing up, \u201cHoppers\u201d looks to be Pixar\u2019s first original hit since 2017\u2019s \u201cCoco.\u201d Otherwise, the animation empire has scored with sequels such as \u201cInside Out 2\u201d but struggled to draw crowds for new ideas like 2025\u2019s \u201cElio.\u201d<\/p>\n \n Buckley, who will likely be an Oscar winner by tonight<\/a>, is enduring the highs and lows of the box office. Her latest film \u2014 \u201cThe Bride!\u201d \u2014 added a tragic $1.7 million from 70 markets in its sophomore outing. With terrible reviews and a negative audience reception, the R-rated \u201cThe Bride!\u201d has earned a paltry $9.7 million overseas and $21 million worldwide to date. It\u2019s expected to lose many millions for Warner Bros., which spent $90 million to make and $65 million to market the 1930s-set reimagining of \u201cThe Bride of Frankenstein.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n All hail Ghostface.
