The horror movie "Scream 6" succeeded in overthrowing "Creed 3" from the top of the North American box office, as its premieres during the past weekend generated revenues of $ 44.5 million, according to estimates issued Sunday by the specialized "Experience Relationships".

Preliminary numbers for showings from Friday to Sunday in the United States and Canada showed that the sixth part of the famous horror movie "Scream" achieved the best start in the history of the series produced by "Paramount", since its debut in 1996.

At that time, Wes Craven's film, who died in 2015, was able to revive this cinematic genre through a mixture of horror and self-irony, a recipe that "Scream" still adopts.

The terrifying New York character "Ghost Face" appears in this part, starring actress Courteney Cox, who has accompanied the series since its inception, while "Wednesday" star Gina Ortega also participates in it.

As for the movie “Creed 3”, which is the ninth part of the “Rocky” series, and the first in it without the participation of Sylvester Stallone, it fell to second place, with revenues amounting to $ 27.2 million.

The film deals again with the story of Adonis Creed, the son of Apollo, who returns from retirement to have a highly anticipated confrontation with an old friend. It is the first film directed by Michael B. Jordan, who simultaneously performs the main role.

In third place was the science fiction thriller "65", starring Adam Driver, with $12.3 million, followed by "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania" from the "Marvel" series, with $7 million. Then "Crazy bear" fifth, grossing $6.2 million.

Here are the remaining films in the top ten rankings at the North American box office this week:

6. "Jizzy's Revolution" ($5.2 million)
7. "Champions" ($5.2 million)
8. "Avatar: The Way of Water" ($2.7 million)
9. Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba: To the Swordsmith Village ($1.9 million)
10. Puss in Boots: The Last Wish ($1.7 million)
