Scream will debut with a solid $30.6 million over three days and $35 million over the four-day MLK Holiday weekend, according to Paramount’s Sunday morning projections. That will be easily enough to push Spider-Man: No Way Home into second place in its fifth weekend in release. Spidey will move past Black Panther on Monday to become the fourth-highest-grossing movie at the domestic box office.

We should see a new movie at the top of the box office this weekend, with Scream heading for an opening somewhere around $30 million, and Spider-Man: No Way Home slowly descending from its stratospheric heights.

After an 11-year hiatus, Ghostface is back, terrifying the townspeople of Woodsboro. The first film in the Scream franchise not to be directed by Wes Craven, Scream (colloquially known as Scream 5) is helmed by the directing duo of Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, both of whom previously directed 2014’s Devil’s Due, and 2019’s Ready or Not. Through its first four films, between 1996 and 2011, the franchise has earned just over $600 million worldwide. The latest installment, which had a $24-million production budget, brings back franchise veterans Courteney Cox, David Arquette and Neve Campbell along with a cast of new faces. Scream will open in 3,664 theaters. Also opening in wide release this week is the Japanese animated science fantasy film Belle. The film, which was the third-highest-grossing Japanese film of 2021, is set to arrive in an estimated 1,300 locations.

We’re kicking off 2022 here at The Numbers with an update to our look. We’ve spent the last few months going through the site and working to increase space available for data, clean up the layout (in particular to seamlessly support desktop, tablet and mobile versions of the site), and bringing our design into the 2020s. Oh, and there’s a snappy new logo too. Rest assured, we aren’t taking anything away—all the pages you’ve come to know and love are still there, and the site navigation is almost identical to the current site. We’re making the new site available in beta form now (just click this link to give it a try) to give you a chance to send in your feedback before we make the new design our default.

Spider-Man: No Way Home continues to power its way towards more records this weekend, passing Jurassic World and Titanic to become the sixth-highest-grossing film in history in North America. If you count Avatar as part of the Disney family now, No Way Home is also the new record holder for a non-Disney film. In the face of that competition, The 355 fell a little short of expectations, with $4.8 million.

The 355 goes up against the unstoppable force that is Spider-Man: No Way Home at the box office this weekend, and there’s really only one possible winner. Although the webbed crusader won’t be dislodged from the top spot, 355 could do decent business, and will tell us something about where the market stands as we start out 2022.

Last week was all about Spider-Man: No Way Home as we experienced a week where no new wide releases opened. While this week won’t be a drastic change in that regard, we do see one film open wide with the release of the all-female espionage thriller, The 355. The film follows a globe-trotting quartet of women, each with a particular set of unique skills, who must forge a tenuous loyalty that could protect the world—or get them killed. The 355 opens in 3,145 theaters.

After two years ravaged by COVID-19, we’re predicting that the domestic theatrical market will grow significantly in 2022, although it will almost certainly fall short of its pre-pandemic glory. Our model currently expects a $6.8-billion year, up around 50% from 2021’s $4.6-billion total, but still far behind the $10 billion or so we enjoyed each year in the decade leading up to 2019. There’s still a lot of uncertainty at this stage, not least because Spider-Man: No Way Home has performed extraordinarily well over the past few weeks, while almost every other film has fallen short of expectations. In keeping with that, one 2022 film stands head and shoulders above the others in the model’s estimation at this point. For a change, it’s one that doesn’t involve super heroes. Although it does feature dinosaurs.
