The original Scary Movie film was highly successful, grossing over $42 million in its first weekend and going on to gross over $278 million worldwide. Its sequels were also successful, and continued to be parodies of horror films and other films and television shows, all while spoofing horror sequels. It is also considered to be one of the first in a long line of recent spoof films, including "Not Another Teen Movie", "Date Movie", "Epic Movie", and "Meet the Spartans."
