Welcome to **The** **Box Office Report** for the weekend of Feb. 27-March 1, 2026. ## 1\. Scream 7 *Weekend gross: *$64.1M** *Total domestic gross: *$64.1M** *Last weekend: *1st** *Percent drop: *New release** *Scream 7* had trouble scaring up positive reviews, but that didn’t stop moviegoers from sending the film to the biggest opening weekend in franchise history. The *Scream* series has been on the uptick since returning to theaters in 2022, with the confusingly named *Scream* (the fifth movie in the series) opening with $30 million and *Scream VI* following a year later with a $44.4 million first weekend. *Scream 7* (I guess we’re dropping the roman numerals, huh?) obliterated *Scream VI*’s previous record debut, upping it by almost $20 million for a $64.1 million first frame. The seventh *Scream* movie has already passed *Scream 4*’s entire $38.2 million domestic haul. ![Popculturology](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/2026/02/popculturology-wordmark.png) Welcome to Popculturology!

GOAT *Weekend gross: *$12M** *Total domestic gross: *$74M** *Last weekend: *1st** *Percent drop: *29** *GOAT* has shown impressive staying power, dropping only 29 percent this weekend after a respectable 38 percent drop last weekend. The animated film’s consistency has allowed it to pass the $72.3 million North American total amassed by *“Wuthering Heights.”* It’ll be interesting to see if *GOAT*’s status as the latest animated movie in theaters (*Zootopia 2* is still kicking around too) translates into a solid debut for *Hoppers* next weekend.

Twenty One Pilots: More Than We Ever Imagined *Weekend gross: *$4.3M** *Total domestic gross: *$4.3M** *Last weekend: *NA** *Percent increase: *New release** Speaking of event movies ... there’s a Twenty One Pilots concert film? I had no idea this one existed, but here it is at No. 4\. *Twenty One Pilots: More Than We Ever Imagined* was shot during the duo’s The Clancy World Tour and played across 833 screens this weekend.

EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert *Weekend gross: *$3.5M** *Total domestic gross: *$7.8M** *Last weekend: *7th** *Percent increase: *9** It turns out **Baz Luhrmann** wasn’t done making movies about **Elvis Presley**. The director, who previously helmed the **Austin Butler**\-starring *Elvis*, transformed a bunch of footage from the musician’s estate into a documentary. Oh wait, I just got that “EPiC” stands for “Elvis Presley in Concert.” *Box office numbers via* [*The Numbers*](http://www.the-numbers.com/?ref=theomnicosm.com) *based on Sunday estimates.* ![Popculturology](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/2026/02/popculturology-wordmark.png) Popculturology is a publication of **The Omnicosm**.
