I finally got the trilogy on Blu-ray!,I could never find them on DVD or I just ended up getting other stuff But I saw them on blu-ray at BestBuy and so I finally got them and they even ended up being on special for $8 each!

Nice little special features,Watching the first movie and I forgot how amazingly awesome the opening scene is and the movie itself so far is still awesome!!!

Can't wait to add Scream 4 to the collection!

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

I'll be doing a marathon of all 4 once Scream 4 comes out on DVD/Blu-Ray.

 

[TX85]

I was going to do that too,But I couldn't resist and so I'm having a trilogy marathon right now!

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Nice, lol.

 

[The Joker]

The picture quality on these blu-rays is really terrific. So is the sound effects. When Ghostface pulls out a knife you can really hear the metallic sound effect. The colors have great clarity, too. Gale's red hair streaks in S2 really show up as a more defined red, for example.

 

[TX85]

Yeah the HD is awesome,and I have a sound system so having it full blast in the room and hearing a knife's metallic sound effect&screams&stuff is f'n awesome!!!

 

[cheungcheung]

Scream 4 didn't even make the top 10 this weekend.

 

[TX85]

Damn it,I sure hope there's still a chance for Scream 4 in dvd&blu-ray buys and rentals at least!

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Agreed.

Speaking of the blu-ray, I hope we get alot of features.

The Unseen Scream 4 Part 5: Scarecrow & Zombie Ghostface (Exclusive Fun World Quote)

Allow us this brief breaking of the fourth wall, but Scream-Trilogy has passed the one year mark! Why is this relevant? Because a week after our April 29th 2010 birthdate, we broke a story about new Zombie & Scarecrow variations of the Ghostface mask which had some sort of connection to Scream 4, based on a photo of Wes Craven’s cat and other clues. That article is what made readers sit up and take notice, and realize we weren’t just the usual news recycling fansite. Even though we were cautious from the start that nothing might come of them, we made it a point to follow the mystery of the new masks in those early months when no real information about the film was available. This would lead us down a path that included receiving the #1 movie-run production Zombie Mask itself!
And now we come full-circle one year later to put a cap on the mysterious saga…
Leading up to, including, and even after filming, Fun World’s Director of Licensing/Product Development R.J. Torbert was a key middleman figure between Scream 4 and the fanbase, tweeting filming details and holding contests. Fun World is, of course, the owner and controlling company of the Ghost Face mask design, so have a pretty strong connection with The Weinstein Co because that now-iconographic mask is, in a way, more valuable to the Scream franchise then any flesh & blood cast member!
So the intel on the new masks was that they were first created by Fun World as 2010 Halloween releases, but there was also a discussion and level of interest with the movie’s powers-that-be. However Torbert quite pointedly never confirmed if either – or neither – would appear in the film, only that we would have to wait and see.
We waited and have now seen Scream 4, and the masks were sadly absent. Scream Trilogy reached out to Fun World’s Torbert who provided this comment in response:

The Zombie Mask and Scarecrow Mask were filmed for the barn scene and they were edited out —-I was informed that Harvey and Bob Weinstein were concerned it would cause a bit of “confusion”.
​

The visually appealing alternate masks weren’t the only removals from the Stab-a-thon sequence, and we’ll tell you all about that in the next edition of Unseen Screams

 

[Majik1387]

I honestly figured those unseen costumes were for the faux Stab movie covers.

 

[kickass]

I think its safe to say this movie tanked.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Personally, I wouldn't have minded the Zombie ghostface scene, but it wasn't needed, if you ask me.

 

[Homer J. Fong]

It really has tanked, and that's a shame. It's a shame because (A) it's really good, and (B) its box office failure can't indicate anything good about the marketplace. It probably would have done better if it was a watered-down PG-13 straight remake, as opposed to a meta commentary on horror remakes (in other words, if it wasn't a true Scream movie), and I hate that. Or maybe not that PG-13 part, I don't quite know. At the same time, the flopping of Scream 4 doesn't bother me THAT much, because it means we almost certainly won't see Scream 5, and I don't want to see Scream 5. When 4 was announced, I was thinking not just, "Oh, come on, leave Sidney alone," but, "Where is there to go, what's the angle?" and that's so much more the case now.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ It being a PG-13 remake wouldn't have hlped. This was a combination of a bad month with other films coming out at the same time.

 

[Homer J. Fong]

I guess; was there much talk of April being a bad month beforehand, though? I mean, the first (and then the second) opened in December, which was certainly not thought of a great move at the time, and Scream wasn't an instant sucess either, but it built and built and built, and then was a big hit on video. I know I didn't think anything of an April opening, but it does not seem like a good decision in retrospect.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ There really was no talk about it being a bad month before hand. These things happen, I guess.

 

[The Joker]

Well I watched all three on blu-ray, and they all came up trumps on it. I only wish I'd had them in this format before Scream 4 had been released.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

-sigh- 71 million dollars with still some international markets to open up in. And a DVD/Blu-Ray market that is guaranteed to do well is not even near a tank.

 

[kickass]

It had zero longevity. 2 weeks in the top 10 then gone. $40 million to make, $35 million it made domestic. This film was expected to make that much and more opening weekend alone.

Yes, 71 mill is still a lot, but its not enough considering its budget. You can't tell me TWC are celebrating these figures, cause they're not.

 

[Wheels]

You might want to brace yourselves for the crappy remake in a few years.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Well, it's better than we expected it was gonig to be the past few days. Not alot though, but still.

Let's not count inflatition of ticket prices and it's made just 20 million shy of what Scream 3 made internationally in just 2weeks. I'm sure they are ****ing happy as ****.

This could be far much worse. The term is disappointment. Not ''tank."
