Scream 7: Box Office Success Despite Wiz Khalifa's Criticism
Wiz Khalifa recently shared his thoughts on the latest installment of the Scream franchise, Scream 7. During a live stream, the Pittsburgh native criticized the movie, labeling it as "trash" and expressing his disapproval of its use of AI and deepfake technology. He felt that the incorporation of these elements felt forced and corny, detracting from the overall plot of the film.
In Scream 7, Neve Campbell returns as Sidney Prescott, now living in Pine Grove, Indiana, with her daughter and husband. The story follows the return of the Ghostface killer, who targets Sidney and her daughter in their new home. Despite Wiz Khalifa's negative review, the movie had a successful debut, surpassing expectations with a record-breaking $64.1 million opening at the domestic box office, according to Rotten Tomatoes.
The film's strong performance at the box office indicates that it resonated with audiences, despite Wiz Khalifa's criticism. While opinions on the movie may vary, Scream 7's financial success suggests that it has found an audience and continues to captivate fans of the horror genre.
