Happy 20th Birthday 'Scary Movie'
Scary Movie, the comedy that made fun of slasher films like Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer, turned 20 years old today. The movie that every studio passed on except for Harvey Weinstein’s Dimension Films, was made for a mere $19 million, but collected more than $157 million at the domestic box office, Variety reports. Scary Movie’s opening day wasn’t too shabby either—it made a cool $15 million. The movie birthed a franchise, including four more films, but the Wayans brothers involvement with Scary Movie ended after 2001’s second installment.
