Why Scream 3 Has The Only "Rotten" Score In The Whole Franchise

Out of the entire Scream franchise, 2000’s Scream 3 is the only installment with a “Rotten” score on Rotten Tomatoes, and for very interesting reasons. Scream 3 served as the final installment in Wes Craven’s original trilogy and was meant to be the end of the franchise before the series was revived 11 years later with Scream 4. Over two decades after the initial planned ending for Sidney Prescott, Dewey Riley, and Gale Weathers, the slasher franchise has become more popular than ever. Not only is Scream in the midst of a modern reboot trilogy, but the latest installment, Scream 6, broke franchise records at the domestic box office.
