Yeah, that’s about it. Horror flicks seldom get huge budgets – Scream IV had a reported budget of $33M and racked up ticket sales of about $200M while Creed 3 had a budget of $75M and took in about $125M. The slasher shows also sold a whole lot of popcorn and expensive other stuff! Last year, 449 movies were released in the Americas. That’s up from 406, according to Statista in 2020. That’s a long way from the year before (56.7 percent less to be precise) and a lot of them were various types of horror films – comedy, drama, alien, blood/gore, zombie, sci-fi. And while they were still enjoyed by theater bosses and younger audiences, they were dismissed by the “professionals.” Despite the limited view of the Academy voters, there are 20 genre of films that suck folks into the theater or entices them to sign up for a specific streaming service.
