Scream 7 may be the worst-reviewed movie of the series, but the franchise remains safe. It just had a terrific opening at the box office, assuring that yes, Scream 8 will probably happen sooner, rather than taking another 11-year break. On the other hand, Scream 7 also took three years to follow up the high-grossing Scream 6 because of unforeseen circumstances and corporate meddling. (The latter seems far from off the table with current Scream studio Paramount preparing to consolidate its power as a right-wing media empire.) Beyond those external forces, Scream 7 makes plenty of internal changes to the series, rendering the future of the franchise murkier than ever.
