“Scary Movie” Opens in the Philippines After Franchise-Best $105M Global Debut

The sixth installment reunites Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Anna Faris, and Regina Hall for a new round of horror-comedy chaos.

The laughs and scares are back as Scary Movie Philippines opens in cinemas on June 10, rated R-16 with no cuts.

The sixth installment of the beloved horror-comedy franchise arrives after scoring a franchise-best $105 million global opening weekend, marking a strong return for one of the most recognizable parody film series in pop culture.

The film reunites the franchise’s Core Four — Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Anna Faris, and Regina Hall — for the first time in 25 years.

Directed by Michael Tiddes, a frequent collaborator of Marlon Wayans, the new installment debuted in the United States with $55 million and earned $50.5 million overseas, delivering the best global opening weekend in the series’ history.

For fans of the franchise, the return of familiar faces brings back the chaotic energy, sharp parody, and outrageous humor that made Scary Movie a cultural favorite.

Marlon Wayans said the film continues to find comedy in dark places, especially within horror conventions.

“When you can find humor in unexpected situations, that’s when you really become funny,” Wayans said. “Tension, comedy and horror have a similar rhythm.”

The latest film continues the franchise’s tradition of turning fear into laughter, using suspense, shock, and absurd comedy to parody the horror genre.

Alongside returning cast members, the film also introduces new performers including Olivia Rose Keegan, Cameron Scott Roberts, and Savannah Lee Nassif.

With its strong box office start and highly anticipated Philippine release, Scary Movie Philippines is expected to draw longtime fans and new audiences looking for a wild big-screen comedy experience.

The takeaway: Scary Movie proves that horror and comedy still make a powerful pair, especially when familiar characters return for one more chaotic ride.
