Summary

Paramount launches PVOD

Paramount released Scary Movie 6 on premium video-on-demand (PVOD) on July 21, 2026, for $24.99 purchase or $19.99 rent.
The rollout targets Africa’s markets, Nigeria and Kenya, where Showmax and Prime Video dominate.
Analysts say the move reflects Hollywood’s post-pandemic push to monetize home viewing after theatrical windows.
Paramount views the $24.99 price as a test for PVOD rates on comedies and seeks revenue from theatergoers and African streaming viewers.

Summary

Paramount+ No Date

Paramount+ has not set a streaming date for Scary Movie 6, which stays in theaters.
Analysts expect a digital rental in early July 2026 and a Paramount+ debut in early September 2026, similar to Scream 7.
The film can be bought or rented now, with Amazon Prime pricing it at $24.99.
Paramount+ offers an Essential plan for $8.99/month and a Premium plan for $13.99/month, which includes Showtime, CBS and a seven-day free trial.

History

Historical Context

In September 2020 Disney launched the live-action Mulan on Disney+ Premier Access, charging $29.99 and earning roughly $70 million in two weeks as theaters shut because of COVID-19. That pandemic-driven PVOD model proved viable, and on July 21 2026 Paramount released Scary Movie 6 for $24.99 in Nigeria, Kenya and on Amazon Prime, signaling studios’ continued price-testing of direct-to-consumer releases.
