How to watch Scream 5 in South Africa
Scream 5 is getting a premium budget for its release, unlike Bruce Willis’ upcoming action thriller American Siege, which is only premiering in limited regions.
Paramount Pictures is going all out with the promotion and outreach of the fifth instalment. Understandably so, a lot of expectation rides on the Scream brand since the last four chapters made a cumulative R9.5 billion ($604.4 million) at the box office, averaging $151.1 million per release.
Scream 5 will premiere at Sterkinekor and Nu Metro on Friday 14 January 2022. At this time, tickets are not available for pre-booking.
