The new Scary Movie opened in theaters on June 5, 2026, after Paramount moved its release date forward. It began streaming exclusively on Paramount+ on September 3, 2026, according to Paramount’s announcement. Paramount’s viewing guide also lists an extended cut. Streaming availability can vary by country.
What was the release update?
The headline-making change was a move to an earlier theatrical date. CBS Atlanta reported that Paramount Pictures brought the release forward amid online excitement; the Associated Press later reported the film’s June 5, 2026 theatrical opening. That date has now passed.
Paramount announced that the film would begin streaming exclusively on Paramount+ on September 3, 2026. The announcement gives the start date, but viewers should check their country’s Paramount+ catalog for current availability: Paramount’s viewing guide identifies the film and its available cut, but does not establish availability in every region.
Which Scary Movie is this?
This is Scary Movie (2026), the sixth installment in the franchise. Paramount describes Marlon and Shawn Wayans returning, alongside Anna Faris and Regina Hall. Its viewing guide identifies the returning characters Cindy, Brenda, Shorty, and Ray.

What versions can you watch?
Paramount’s viewing guide identifies the original theatrical release and an extended cut. The available information does not specify the runtime difference or establish the exact formats in which each cut is available. Check the listing in your region before choosing a version; no specific DVD or Blu-ray edition or current retailer stock is established here.

Paramount said in an August 19, 2026 announcement that the film had grossed more than $230 million worldwide. The Associated Press separately reported a $105.5 million global launch, citing studio estimates. These figures measure different things: the launch figure refers to the opening, while Paramount’s later statement gives a worldwide gross as of its announcement. They should not be treated as interchangeable.
