The Cinemark theatre chain is going all-out with their promos for the upcoming slasher sequel Scream 6, which is set to reach theatres in two weeks (as new art on the official Twitter account reminds us today), on March 10th. Cinemark theatres have been offering Ghostface plushies and Ghostface “beverage buddies”, as well as popcorn tubs that are shaped like the masked head of the Ghostface killer. Those popcorn tubs have proven to be so popular, Cinemark has now announced that they are accepting online pre-orders for Ghostface popcorn tubs from now until March 17th. And yes, they will even ship outside the United States!
The Ghostface popcorn tubs are going for a price of $19.99 (plus tax and shipping) and can be pre-ordered at THIS LINK. But don’t expect to have these in time to go see Scream 6 with them in hand. Cinemark theatres will not fill these online pre-ordered tubs with popcorn if you take them to the theatre – and anyway, they’re not going to ship out until August.
Directed by Scream 2022 directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett from a screenplay by Scream 2022 writers James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick, this one will show us what happens when the four survivors of the Ghostface killings leave Woodsboro behind and start a fresh chapter.
Those four survivors are the returning Scream 2022 characters played by Melissa Barrera (as Samantha Carpenter), Jenna Ortega (as Samantha’s sister Tara Carpenter), Mason Gooding (as Mindy’s brother Chad Meeks-Martin), and Jasmin Savoy Brown (as Mindy Meeks-Martin). They’re seeking to start a fresh chapter in New York City… but while the story is set in New York, the movie was filmed in Montreal.
Also in the cast are franchise regular Courteney Cox (as Gale Weathers), Scream 4 star Hayden Panettiere (as Kirby Reed), and new additions Dermot Mulroney as Detective Bailey, Samara Weaving as Laura, Tony Revolori as Jason, Liana Liberato as Quinn, Josh Segarra as Danny, Jack Champion as Ethan, and Devyn Nekoda as Anika. Henry Czerny is also in there, playing an unspecified role.
Notably missing is Neve Campbell, who was asked to reprise the role of franchise heroine Sidney Prescott in Scream 6, but passed on it due to a pay dispute.
Vanderbilt is producing Scream 6 with Paul Neinstein and William Sherak for Project X Entertainment. Original Scream screenwriter Kevin Willamson serves as executive producer alongside Chad Villella, Ron Lynch, Cathy Konrad, Marianne Maddalena, and Spyglass’s Gary Barber and Peter Oillataguerre.
