Scary Movie Returns, Faces Off With Backrooms as He-Man Sequel Aims for Family Start
Scary Movie is targeting a $45–$50 million opening from about 3,400 North American theaters with a projection near $40 million, a result that could set a franchise record if it hits the high end. Meanwhile Amazon/MGM’s Masters of the Universe is aiming for a $30–$35 million start, and the market remains crowded with horror hits like Backrooms—already at $81 million in its second weekend—alongside other family-friendly fare, highlighting a varied box office as the three titles compete for different audiences.
