- Scream VI is the sequel to Scream (2022) and the sixth installment in the Scream film series.
- A sixth Scream film was announced just weeks after the successful debut of Scream (2022), with much of the cast signing on to reprise their roles alongside Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett’s return.
- Filming took place in Montreal, Canada, from June to late August 2022. Neve Campbell did not reprise her role as Sidney Prescott due to a pay dispute, making this the first Scream film not to feature her.
- In several cities, a viral marketing stunt occurred, as the studio’s marketing firm sent individuals wearing a Ghostface costume and mask to stand motionless in front of cameras and walk around the streets, resulting in multiple 911 calls from unsettled residents.
- The marketing campaign also included the launch of a website that allowed American users to receive personalized phone calls from Ghostface, Scream-themed meals in different Chain pop-up dinners and an immersive walk-through featuring props and reconstructed sets from the franchise in California; the walk-throughs included appearances by directors and producers Radio Silence Productions, along with actors Mason Gooding, Dermot Mulroney and Tony Revolori.
- Scream VI premiered at the AMC Lincoln Square Theater in Manhattan on March 6, 2023, and was theatrically released in the United States on March 10 by Paramount Pictures.
- The film received generally positive reviews from critics and grossed $169 million worldwide, becoming the first installment in the franchise to earn over $100 million at the domestic US box office since Scream 2 (1997) and the highest-grossing Scream film in the United States and Canada (unadjusted for inflation).
- It won Best Movie at the 2023 MTV Awards.
- In March 2023, directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillet were “hopeful” for a seventh film in the series and said they would like to continue to see more movies in the franchise “whether we’re involved or not”.
- They also stated that they wanted Campbell to return in future installments, saying “we’d love to be able to make another movie with her, and we’re not giving up”. In August 2023, it was announced Christopher Landon was set to direct Scream 7.
- Scream VI was released digitally on April 25, 2023, in the US, where it also began streaming on Paramount+ and various other regions. It was released on VOD on May 9, 2023 in other regions, such as the UK and Ireland. Its DVD, Blu-ray and Ultra HD Blu-ray released in the US and some regions on July 11, 2023. Upon its release, the film debuted at #1 on the UK Official Film Chart Top 40.
