Starring Jan Bijoet, Jeroen Perceval and Hadewych Minis, “A dark suburban fable exploring the nature of evil in unexpected places, Borgman follows an enigmatic vagrant who enters the lives of an upper-class family and quickly unravels their carefully curated lifestyle. Charming and mysterious, Camiel Borgman seems almost otherworldly, and it isn’t long before he has the wife, children and nanny under his spell in a calculated bid to take over their home life. However, his domestic assimilation takes a malevolent turn as his ultimate plan comes to bear, igniting a series of increasingly maddening and menacing events.“
Earlier this month, the new Scary Movie broke a franchise record with a $105 million worldwide opening weekend, and the horror-comedy spoof has now passed $200 million.
The current domestic total for Scary Movie as we head into another weekend is $100 million, while the worldwide box office total currently sits at a healthy $208 million.
With that $208 million added to the franchise’s previous box office office totals over the years, Deadline notes this week, the Scary Movie franchise has now hit $1 billion!
Here are the worldwide totals for all six movies in the franchise to date…
- Scary Movie ($278M)
- Scary Movie 2 ($141.2M)
- Scary Movie 3 ($220.6M)
- Scary Movie 4 ($178.2M)
- Scary Movie 5 ($78.3M)
- Scary Movie 6 ($208.5M)
Deadline also notes in their report, “The current Scary Movie is the first pure R-rated comedy (not a hybrid action or superhero genre movie) to cross $100M since 2017’s Girls Trip.”
The reported production budget for Paramount’s new Scary Movie was just $30 million, ensuring that the franchise’s sixth installment will be turning a healthy profit in theaters.
Scary Movie is currently 23% rotten on Rotten Tomatoes and film’s CinemaScore was a dismal C+, but the film is nevertheless proving itself to be review-proof at the box office.
Marlon Wayans (“Shorty”), Shawn Wayans (“Ray”), Anna Faris (“Cindy”), and Regina Hall (“Brenda”) reunite for the new Scary Movie, with the cast also including Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, Jon Abrahams, Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, Kim Wayans, Benny Zielke, Cameron Scott Roberts, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Ruby Snowber, Savannah Lee Nassif, Sydney Park, and Felissa Rose.
Twenty-six years after outrunning a suspiciously familiar masked killer (“Ghostface”), the Core Four are back in the killer’s crosshairs and no horror movie IP is safe…
Scary Movie will slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t. A whole lot has changed in the horror genre since the Wayans Brothers were in charge of the franchise; their involvement ended with Scary Movie 2 back in 2001!
Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) directed the new Scary Movie.
