HOLLYWOOD - Ghostface’s still got it. “Scream 7,” the latest installment in the long-running slasher series, cemented a franchise record with $64.1 million in its domestic box office debut.

Variety reports that’s a scary-good start for the 30-year-old property.

“Scream 7” marks Paramount’s first No. 1 release in 12 months, since last March’s action comedy “Novocaine.” The box office win, after a long drought for the studio, comes days after Paramount shocked Hollywood by outbidding Netflix for control of Warner Bros.

“It’s remarkable that from its humble beginnings some 30 years ago, ‘Scream’ would resonate as strongly today as when the first film was released,” says Comscore’s head of marketplace trends Paul Dergarabedian.

“GOAT” secured second place with $12 million in ticket sales.

Third place went to “Wuthering Heights”.
