After Dealing With Critic Hate, Scary Movie Is Quietly Racking Up A Whole Lot Of Money

Ghostface in the train.

Scary Movie -- the sixth installment in the parody-fueled film series -- probably won't win an Oscar, to put it lightly. Since its release, critics have panned the latest movie from the Wayans, and they haven't held back those thoughts. However, the legacy sequel seems to have quietly made quite a bit of money, thanks to approving audience members who hit up their local cinemas. With that, I don't really question whether Paramount will pursue future installments.

It can't be understated just how financially successful Scary Movie has been since its release. BoxOfficeMojo reports that the movie has earned a total of $103,523,756 domestically after 24 days in theaters. And, as it stands, the film has a worldwide cume of $215,323,756. Sure, the reviews weren't glowing, and it ranked among one of the worst movies of the franchise. However, it's clear that there's a disconnect between general audiences and critics weren't. So let's talk out what the future might hold.
