13 Years After Its Last Entry, This Highly Anticipated Sequel Gets New Release Date

by

Fans of the series have something to look forward to! The new parody movie will be released in theaters earlier than expected.

Marlon Wayans announced on Instagram that his new movie is coming to theaters a week earlier than planned! Originally set for June 12th, it will now be released on June 5th. Wayans, who wrote, produced, and stars in the film, said the change is due to the incredible excitement and positive response. The movie will now open against Ryan Reynolds’ Animal Friends and Paul Rudd’s Power Ballad. He shared the news in a video from the editing room, confirming the new release date.

Sixth Scary Movie Installment Comes Early Due to Overwhelming Fan Demand

The new movie Scary Movie, originally planned as Scary Movie 6, just released its first trailer, and it’s already generating buzz. The trailer shows a variety of characters, including the creepy doll from M3GAN, Ghostface from Scream, and spoofs of scenes from films like Halloween and Ryan Coogler’s Sinners.

Wayans playfully announced on social media that he was looking forward to arriving early. He quickly added, “Oops, that sounded a little awkward!” He then joked that some people might see it as releasing information too soon, but confirmed they were moving forward with the plans and invited everyone to join.

Honestly, what always got me about the Scary Movie films was the Wayans family’s hilarious energy and how they could riff on anything – even the fact that the movies were coming out! That’s a huge reason why people are still excited about a potential new one, even though it’s been 13 years since Scary Movie 5. It’s amazing to think the series started way back in 2000, and it really feels like a piece of movie history.

The actors’ participation in the latest movie is expected to revitalize the series, which, despite receiving varied critical responses, has become a beloved and funny part of popular culture. Whether the new film will reach the same success as the sixth installment – the highest-earning film in the franchise with over $278 million earned globally – is yet to be seen.

New Scary Movie Film Sees Return of Beloved Franchise Stars

By 2013, when Scary Movie 5 was released, the series had lost much of its appeal, largely because several popular actors had left. Fortunately, the latest film seems to be returning to what made the original movies successful, with both actors reprising their roles as Shorty Meeks and Ray Wilkins.

Anna Faris will reprise her role as Cindy Campbell in the new movie, and several other familiar faces are also returning, including Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Jon Abrahams, and Anthony Anderson. While the specific storyline is still a secret, the Wayans brothers are sharing hints online, giving fans a preview of what to expect from the film’s humor and direction.

The new Scary Movie film will now hit theaters on June 5, 2026.
