Box Office: ‘Scream’ debuts to bloody millions
HOLLYWOOD - After a month at No. 1, "Spider-Man: No Way Home" has finally been overtaken at the box office.

The "Scream" reboot made its debut with $30.6 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates.

"Scream," a self-described "requel" that is both the fifth film in the franchise and a re-launch introducing a new younger cast, led all releases for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend. The film is forecast to earn $35 million. "Scream" cost about $24 million to make.

"Scream" is the first box-office success in a year that Hollywood hopes will see a return to weekly stability at movie theaters. January is typically a quiet period at the box office.

Meanwhile, "Spider-Man: No Way Home" slipped to second place but continued to rise in the record books.

"Sing 2" landed in third place in its fourth week.

The only other new widely released movie for the week was "Belle," Mamoru Hosoda's critically acclaimed anime riff on "Beauty and the Beast."
