Scream has been one of the OG horror/thriller franchises for over three decades now. When the first film of the franchise premiered in 1996, it revitalised the slasher genre of classic horror, introducing the iconic Halloween staple, ‘Ghostface’. Thirty years later, the Director Kevin Williamson has rebooted the franchise with the release of Scream 7, which officially hit the theatres on Friday, February 27, 2026.
The seventh instalment in the franchise came after considerable dispute and cast exits, leading to a major creative and financial reset. After major actors like Jenna Ortega and Melissa Barrera exited the project, the producers had to make a tough call, and that shift is reflected in the cast salaries for this instalment. Who earned the highest? Let’s find out.
