The past couple of decades have been scary, with the release of several horror films. However, thanks to the brainchild of the Wayans brothers, Scary Movie and its several unbeatable installments, the horror seemed less dominating.
Over the years, the films have made us roll over with their witty remarks and parodies of various horror films, from Scream to Saw and beyond. What's interesting is that the ever-loved and long-lived franchise will set loose its chaos in theaters this year with Scary Movie 6. Before we hit the cinema halls to revisit good old memories and get rid of the scare, we are here with the Scary Movie ranking list.
The trailer of the upcoming Scary Movie was released on March 2, 2026. Bringing back the highly acclaimed cast of Anna Faris, Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, and others, Scary Movie 6 seems like another entry that will break records. Speaking of which brings us to the list of box office collections of previous Scary Movie entries, as per Box Office Mojo.
1. Scary Movie (2000)
- Director: Keenen Ivory Wayans
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 51%
- Streaming On: Prime Video & Netflix
- Box Office Gross: $278 Million
Grabbing the top position on our list is the first installment of Scary Movie. This was the first time the world ever saw a ghost being chased, rather than humans gasping for their lives. For the most part, the Wayans brothers even raved about the Ghostface from the Scream entries in Scary Movie, released in 2000. The 2000s Scary Movie grossed a whopping $278 million worldwide.
3. Scary Movie 4 (2006)
- Director: David Zucker
- Rotten Tomatoes Score: 34%
- Streaming On: Prime Video
- BoxOffice Gross: $178.2 Million
Scary Movie 4 hit the big screen in 2006 and again adapted several gory stories that left many people scared and sleepless. But after 2006, these same people may have become bullies for the already departed souls. Carrying the same charm, Scary Movie 4 earned $178 million at the global box office.
It should be noted that this is the second installment that was directed by David Zucker, after Scary Movie 3. The film series' first two entries were helmed by Keenen Ivory Wayans, who also starred in the comedy entries.
Looking at the reception the previous installment has received and the plot Scary Movie 6 is set to introduce, we can hope for a better collection than Scary Movie 5. As seen in the trailer, Scary Movie 6 will again parody horror films and some science fiction entries, including The Substance, Final Destination: Bloodline, Scream, Megan, and Terrifier 3. Other films that will be made fun of are Get Out, Smile, Weapons, MA, Sinners, Halloween, Longlegs, and more.
