The horror-comedy franchise "Scary Movie 6" is set to hit North American theaters on June 5, 2026. Ahead of its release, the studio recently unveiled new merchandise, including a striking popcorn bucket designed to evoke nostalgia for long-time fans. The popcorn bucket is shaped like a retro telephone and directly named after the franchise's iconic line, "WAZZUP!", paying homage to the famous scene from the original 2000 "Scary Movie".
Fans online reacted to the announcement:
Transforming this classic gag into a popcorn bucket design adds a layer of nostalgic appeal to "Scary Movie 6's" promotional campaign.

Beyond the popcorn bucket, "Scary Movie 6" has also showcased its satirical direction through several recent trailers. The final trailer, for instance, unexpectedly pokes fun at Jordan Peele's acclaimed horror film "Get Out". Earlier promotional materials have also spoofed recent popular horror titles such as "Weapons", "Sinners", "M3GAN", and "Scream", continuing the franchise's consistent style of transforming popular horror films and social topics into absurd humor.
"Scary Movie 6" is directed by Michael Tiddes. Returning cast members include familiar faces such as Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Regina Hall as Brenda, Anna Faris as Cindy, and Jon Abrahams as Bobby. New additions to the cast include Damon Wayans Jr. and Gregg Wayans, both members of the Wayans family.
