LOS ANGELES, California: Oscar weekend belonged to 'Scream VI' in theaters, as the horror sequel notched a franchise-best $44.
5 million in domestic ticket sales, according to studio estimates on Sunday.The Paramount Pictures and Spyglass Media Group co-production sailed past expectations, easily surpassing the previous series high of $32 million that 'Scream 2' opened with in 1997. The film's robust debut, coming as Hollywood prepared to gather for the 95th Academy Awards, was yet another reminder of how horror has come to be one of the industry's few sure things at the box office.
6 million overseas.Last week's top film, 'Creed III,' slid to second after its above-expectations launch. Michael B. Jordan's MGM 'Rocky' spinoff, starring him and Jonathan Majors, earned $27.1 million in its second weekend. It has rapidly passed $100 million in United States and Canadian theaters.
