<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Getty\/Alamy<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n<\/section>\n Neve Campbell<\/strong><\/a> skipped out on the latest ‘Scream’ movie due to money negotiations — but the studio’s decision to move on seems to have paid off regardless … big time, in fact.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n ‘Scream 6,’ which just hit theaters Friday, smashed through an opening weekend box office record that the films before it had set … raking in about $44.5 million domestically through Sunday, which blows out the previous benchmark set by ‘Scream 2’ years ago — $32 mil.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n Last year’s “Scream V” came close to touching that, with about $30 mil through 3 days of a 4-day holiday weekend … but this new figure is by and far the best any of these movies have ever done. Paramount’s gotta be happy — it only cost $35M to make this latest slasher.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Interestingly … they achieved this without Neve, which was a gamble. Fact is, she’s been the face of the ‘Scream’ franchise since the start … and her decision to exit last year was controversial. She claimed Paramount wouldn’t pay her what she thought she was worth.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Alamy<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n<\/section>\n At the time, Neve was quoted as saying … “As a woman I have had to work extremely hard in my career to establish my value, especially when it comes to ‘Scream.’ I felt the offer that was presented to me did not equate to the value I have brought to the franchise. It\u2019s been a very difficult decision to move on. To all my ‘Scream’ fans, I love you.” Yeah … scathing.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n And yet … her former costar, Courteney Cox<\/strong><\/a>, did take the money and sign on again — reprising her role as Gale Weathers, and referencing NC’s character, Sidney, in passing.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
