With tongue planted firmly in cheek, the Golden Razzberries announced something of a sweep, awarding five Razzies to a social media-slash-surveillance-camera version of the Invaders from Mars story, War of the Worlds.
This War of the Worlds, which earned a 4 out of 100 on Rotten Tomatoes, took Worst Picture, Worst Remake Ripoff, Worst Screenplay, Worst Director, and Worst Actor for its rapper star Ice Cube.
In years past, the Razzies have mocked prestige films and blockbusters, from Mommy Dearest to the final Twilight movie.
But this year, they're punching down.
In July, Amazon released War of the Worlds direct-to-video.
Paramount Pictures has a lot to scream about this weekend.
The company appears to have won its hostile takeover bid to acquire Warner Brothers, a rival Hollywood studio, and Ghostface, Paramount's masked villain in the Scream movies, is scaring up some serious ticket dollars.
Industry estimates have Scream 7 bringing in nearly $60 million by Sunday night.
That easily tops the opening of every previous Scream movie.
It's also close to double the opening of Wuthering Heights two weeks ago.
which had been the best weekend start of 2026.
