News Summary:

Paramount Skydance and film producer Spyglass Media Group settled a dispute with Hollywood makeup and special-effects studio Alterian on May 7, 2026, regarding the rights to the "Ghostface" mask used in the "Scream" horror movie series, according to a California federal court filing. This settlement followed a lawsuit filed by Paramount Skydance and Spyglass Media Group against Alterian Inc. on February 8, 2026, to defend their rights to the iconic mask. Separately, *Scream 7*, a 2026 movie starring Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and Isabel May, which follows Sidney Prescott as she tries to protect her family from a new Ghostface killer, achieved new box office heights by March 1, 2026. Audience reception for the film reportedly remained strong despite the earlier firing of actress Melissa Barrera and the subsequent departure of Jenna Ortega from the franchise. This success came after the *Scream 7* premiere on February 26, 2026, which saw protests by approximately 25 individuals condemning Barrera's firing and broader political issues, according to Variety.
