The Scream franchise continues to be a hit, with its seventh installment slashing through previous milestones.

The R-rated movie kicked off its run with a record-shattering $28 million on Friday, including $7.8 million in previews.

Early tracking suggests the film is comfortably on its way to a weekend total of between $40 million and $50 million.

The movie’s box office collection is another win for Paramount Skydance, which defeated Netflix’s bid this week and sealed a deal to buy Warner Bros. Discovery for approximately $111 billion.
