Neve Campbell’s Huge Scream 7 Salary Revealed for Horror Movie

Neve Campbell was infamously absent from Scream 6‘s cast due to a pay dispute. Now, reports have suggested that she got a major pay bump to star in the upcoming seventh entry.

What is Neve Campbell’s salary for Scream 7?

Campbell’s salary is brought up in a new report from Variety detailing some of the chaos that took place behind-the-scenes of development for the upcoming Scream 7. Campbell’s salary is brought up. Campbell decided to bow out of Scream after appearing in the fifth entry following disagreements with the offers made to her.

Variety notes that Campbell was able to secure a $7 million deal to return to the franchise in Scream 7, which is a “hefty raise” from her prior salary. The decision, in part, came due to the tumultuous development of the movie, which included Scream 5 and 6 stars Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega leaving the film, the former of which was fired after social media posts speaking out about the Israel-Palestine conflict. Director Christopher Landon also left the project following Barrera’s firing, leading to Kevin Williamson taking over directing duties.

“When a new Ghostface killer emerges in the quiet town where Sidney Prescott has built a new life, her darkest fears are realized as her daughter becomes the next target,” reads the official synopsis. “Determined to protect her family, Sidney must face the horrors of her past to put an end to the bloodshed once and for all.”

Scream 7 is led by stars Neve Campbell and Courteney Cox, both of whom are returning to the Scream franchise. The seventh installment also stars Jasmin Savoy Brown, Mason Gooding, Anna Camp, Mckenna Grace, Michelle Randolph, Jimmy Tatro, Asa Germann, Celeste O’Connor, Joel McHale, Sam Rechner, Ethan Embry, Tim Simons, and Mark Consuelos.

Franchise creator Kevin Williamson is directing the seventh installment from a screenplay he co-wrote with Guy Busick. It is produced by William Sherak, James Vanderbilt, and Paul Neinstein.

The next installment is also expected to feature the surprise returns of franchise vets Matthew Lillard, Scott Foley, and David Arquette. They are set to reprise their roles as Stu Macher, Roman Bridger, and Dewey Riley despite their characters’ respective deaths in 1996’s Scream, 2000’s Scream 3, and 2022’s Scream.
