‘Scream’ Hits $3.5M In Thursday Night Previews
deadline.comParamount-Spyglass Media’s Scream made $3.5M from Thursday night previews that began at 7PM at roughly 3,000 theaters.That’s a healthy take for a horror movie during the pandemic, pacing behind Halloween Kills and A Quiet Place II‘s Thursday nights which were $4.8M each and not too far behind pre-pandemic MLK weekend thriller Glass which did $3.7M.
