What happens

Scary Movie 3 is a 2003 American parody film directed by David Zucker and written by Craig Mazin and Pat Proft. It is the sequel to Scary Movie 2 (2001) and the third installment in the Scary Movie film series. The film stars Anna Faris and Regina Hall reprising their roles as Cindy Campbell and Brenda Meeks, alongside new cast members Charlie Sheen, Simon Rex, Anthony Anderson, Kevin Hart, Queen Latifah, and Leslie Nielsen. It is the first film in the series without the involvement of the Wayans family. Set primarily in Washington, the film parodies a number of early 2000s films, including The Ring (2002), Signs (2002), The Matrix Reloaded (2003), and 8 Mile (2002). The story incorporates elements of the horror, science fiction, and mystery genres. Principal photography took place in Vancouver, British Columbia. Mark Irwin served as cinematographer, and the score was composed by James L. Venable. Scary Movie 3 premiered at the AMC Avco Cinemas in Westwood, California on October 20, 2003, and was released in the United States on October 24, by Dimension Films. The film received mixed reviews from critics, but grossed $220.7 million worldwide on a $45–48 million budget. A sequel, Scary Movie 4, was released in 2006. At the 2004 Teen Choice Awards, Scary Movie 3 won the award for Choice Movie: Your Parents Didn't Want You to See. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
