‘Scary Movie’ tops box office, slaying ‘Masters of the Universe’ and adding to low-budget streak

Scary Movie has claimed the top spot at the box office, surpassing Masters of the Universe and continuing a trend of low-budget success. This shift highlights a summer season where indie horror films are dominating over traditional blockbusters. The Masters of the Universe cast includes Kristen Wiig, Idris Elba, Nicholas Galitzine, and Camila Mendes, but the film failed to outperform the low-budget streak currently fueling the booming summer cinema market in New York.
