The silly sequel scared up an amazing $41 million from more than 3,600 screens -- and yes, Scary Movie 5 will be hitting theaters at this time next year. (Shocker, eh?) Back to Article

on Apr 17 2006 07:37 PM Woo! American Dreamz! Finally a moving coming out that I WANT to see. Honestly, this week, skip Scary Movie 4 and see Thank you for Smoking instead. MUCH funnier than any spoof-movie sequel could ever be. (Reply to this) |
