Scream 7 is on track to break records for the horror franchise at the box office.

According to Brazilian site Portal Box Office, the movie is on track to make $13 million in previews and $33 million on opening day, its opening weekend expected to close between $55 million and $65 million. This would make it the biggest opening in the franchise, beating Scream 6's record-breaking $44 million in 2023.

"There was so much anxiety, so much fear, so much insecurity about stepping back into something that, frankly – and it's yet to be determined – could go really poorly," Lillard said of his return. "I mean, if people hate the movie, hate me, hate Stu, question why I came back, all of that weighs on me heavily… It's a gamble of legacy. I wouldn't want to hurt the legacy at all. And if I thought it would, I wouldn't be here."
