The Scream revival is a full-on roar. The sixth installment in the popular franchise has notched an opening weekend box office of $44.5 million, besting all its predecessors. Scream VI topped the box office, well ahead of Creed III’s impressive second week ($27.1 million). It’s poised to topple the original movie’s $103 million unadjusted box office take.
