Michael Tiddes directs Scary Movie (2026), the sixth feature in the franchise. Paramount distinguishes a 95-minute theatrical cut and a 104-minute extended cut. Identify the film by year first, then the cut by its label and listed runtime.
The title is shared with the original film
Paramount identifies the newer film as the sixth instalment and names Cindy, Brenda, Shorty and Ray as returning characters. The synopsis places them together again in a new encounter with a masked attacker.
The returning names connect it to the earlier film. Use the 2026 identification or Michael Tiddes’s directing credit to select this feature before comparing its versions.
Paramount lists two cuts of the same work
The publisher’s comparison describes extra material in the extended version. It lists the original theatrical presentation at one hour and 35 minutes and the extended cut at one hour and 44 minutes.
For an edition-specific note, keep the version label with the stated runtime. Someone discussing an extra scene may be describing the longer cut even when both entries show the same film title.
| Cut in Paramount’s comparison | Listed runtime |
|---|---|
| Original theatrical version | 95 minutes |
| Extended Cut | 104 minutes |
Separate the poster from the cut label
The supplied artwork identifies the feature. Use a version label or the publisher’s runtime comparison to identify a particular cut. That is the useful final check before comparing scenes or planning around the film’s length.
