In fact, that's incorrect. She has the most amount of screentime in that movie over Gale and Dewey and not the much of a difference in screen time in general from her usual outings this is from someone timing the amount of time the main trio was on screen in the original trilogy:
SCREAM
Sidney: 41 minutes & 44 seconds
Gale: 14 minutes & 09 seconds
Dewey: 10 minutes & 59 seconds
SCREAM 2
Sidney: 40 minutes & 02 seconds
Gale: 22 minutes & 19 seconds
Dewey: 16 minutes and 25 seconds
SCREAM 3
Sidney: 33 minutes & 06 seconds
Gale: 28 minutes & 19 seconds
Dewey: 26 minutes & 43 seconds
So as you see the shortened schedule, which wasn't because she DIDN'T want to do Scream 3, it was because she was filming another film at the same time (it's why her hair in Scream 3 is a wig/hair extensions, because her hair had streaks in it for the other film.), only cut her general amount of screen time by about 10 minutes, it's not really a huge deal.
Wow that's weird to see that Gale and Dewey's screentime really doesn't even look like much at all, at least in the first Scream. I mean hell, Casey Becker probably had 10 minutes of screentime. Could you possibly post anybody else's? Namely Tatum, Billy, Stu, and Randy. Much appreciated.
EDIT: Nevermind. I just found the website with that information so I'm assuming you weren't the one that actually clocked it, so disregard my request haha.
