The Wayans brothers, who directed, wrote, and starred in the first two "Scary Movie" films, are back for the first time since 2001's "Scary Movie 2."
Marlon, Shawn, Keenen Ivory, and Craig Wayans wrote the script, and Marlon and Shawn are returning along with Regina Hall and Anna Faris. It's been 13 years since the last "Scary Movie," and the group is back to make fun of recent horror hits like "Terrifier," "Smile," "Wednesday," "Get Out," and many more. Nothing is off-limits. Miramax spent $30 million to make the movie, so it should do well financially.
Amazon MGM's "Masters of the Universe" is also opening this weekend.
It made $4.4 million in previews. People expect it to make between $30 million and $35 million, and it has a $200 million budget. Nicholas Galitzine plays He-Man, the super-strong prince who returns to Eternia to fight Skeleotor, played by Jared Leto. Directed by Travis Knight, the movie also stars Idris Elba, Camila Mendes, and Alison Brie as Man-at-Arms, Teela, and Evil-Lyn.
Another new movie this weekend is "The Amazing Digital Circus: The Last Act" from Fathom Entertainment.
It actually had the highest Thursday previews with $7.8 million, beating "Scary Movie." The film is based on a YouTube series and marks Fathom's highest pre-sales ever.
