What the ranking tells us
Scream 7 takes the top spot
The Numbers reports Scream 7 at $213,835,967 worldwide. Paramount separately announced that the film passed the $200 million global mark and called it the franchise’s highest-grossing installment; the studio also reported a $97 million worldwide opening. Those are Paramount’s milestone and opening figures, while the table uses The Numbers’ current reported total.
The original and Scream 2 are almost tied
The 1996 Scream ranks second with $173,046,640, only $683,339 ahead of Scream 2 at $172,363,301 in The Numbers’ figures.

#1 Best Overall
The middle positions and last place
Scream VI, Scream 3 and Scream (2022) rank fourth, fifth and sixth, respectively. Scream 4 is seventh at $95,989,590.
Worldwide gross is not the same as domestic gross
“Box office gross” can mean different things. This list uses worldwide gross, combining reported domestic and international receipts. Box Office Mojo’s Scream franchise page lists domestic lifetime grosses instead. In that domestic-only data, Scream 7 is reported at $121,935,967 and Scream VI at $108,391,107; domestic totals produce a different ordering from the worldwide list.
Trackers can also disagree on a film’s reported total. For example, Box Office Mojo lists Scream 3’s domestic lifetime gross as $89,143,175, while The Numbers reports $89,138,076. Using one source consistently avoids mixing different reporting totals.
Independent reader supportYour contribution helps us test, update, and keep practical guides available for everyone.Gross does not establish which Scream movie was most profitable
A film’s box-office gross is not its profit. Gross-minus-production-budget calculations leave out factors such as marketing costs, exhibitors’ share of ticket sales, distribution terms and revenue from other sources. The available figures support a ranking by reported box-office gross, not a ranking by net profit.
