Scary Movie 4, 2006, Anna Faris, Regina Hall, Craig Bierko
Scary Movie 4 is a fourth film of the Scary Movie franchise and is directed by David Zucker, written by Jim Abrahams, Craig Mazin and Pat Proft, and produced by Craig Mazin and Robert K. Weiss. It is distributed by The Weinstein Company via its Dimension Films unit in the US, and internationally by Buena Vista Distribution (Miramax). It was released on April 14, 2006.
In its opening weekend, the film grossed a total of $40.2 million , the third best opening weekend of the Scary Movie franchise. It has the best Easter weekend opening weekend ever, beating Panic Room which made $30.1 million in its opening weekend and also the second best April opening, only $2 million behind Anger Management's record.
As of October 18, 2006, the film has grossed a total of $90,710,620 at the United States box office and $178,049,620 worldwide.
Earning over $40 million above the 'breaking even' point of its $45 million budget, and having a record-breaking opening, Scary Movie 4 is a bonafide success. Nonetheless, the film holds the dubious honor of the highest grossing opening weekend ever for a movie that did not break the $100 million dollar barrier.
According to DavisDVD.com, the DVD was released on August 15, 2006. This is available in a 91-minute "Unrated and Uncensored" version (available in both widescreen and fullscreen) and in an 83-minute PG-13 rated version (available in only fullscreen).
