“Scream 7” is an upcoming slasher film, directed by Kevin Williamson. The movie will be released on Feb. 27, 2026 in theaters. Some are predicting that “Scream 7” will make a domestic profit of $108 million.
“Scream” has a score of 78% fresh, outdone by “Scream 2” at a 83%. It’s strange that the fifth and sixth “Scream” films are at 76% and 77%. According to HelloSidney.com, Williamson said, “The company pitched it to me because they said, this is going to be about Sidney Prescott. It needs to be Sidney…Thats why I would want to do it.”
Principal Ms. Busillo said “I loved the first one, I’m actually seeing it tonight. I would have to see how this one turns to know if this should be the last one. Sometimes when movies push another it doesn’t usually end well.”
The “Black Phone 2” is out now. Check it out in the theaters over the weekend for a chilling experience.

Season 34 took a turn in week 4 during Disney Night when Hiliara Baldwin got voted off. She gained the least amount of votes and blamed it on her husband Alec and his friends for not voting online.
Freshman Blake Marts stated, “She was good-ish but she wasn’t really my favorite. It's not fair because there are actually other dancers and just didn't really like her in general, but it is fair because other good people did get voted off too.”
Sophomore Ireland Helt said, “I think that she is an amazing dancer and she really brought a lot to the season. I think that it’s not fair and she shouldn’t be bullied off.”
According to Parade, another peer from “Dancing With The Stars” (“DWTS”), Andy Richter, stated, “I don’t understand why people have to be so mean to celebrities, especially in a dance competition setting.”
All in all Baldwin is still fighting for justice while everyone else seems to move on to the next week.
