Scary Movie Box Office Power Rankings: Which Film Earned The Most Before Part 6?

By Tejas Mundhada

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.
