Some demonstrators could be seen waving Palestinian flags, while others were holding signs that read “Cancel Paramount+.” The group could also be heard chanting “Boycott Scream 7” and “Free, free, free Palestine,” while some played drums and trumpets. The premiere took place at the Paramount Studios lot; however, the protests could only be faintly heard from the red carpet, where the film’s stars like Neve Campbell and Courteney Cox were posing for photos.

More specifically, the protest was also in response to Melissa Barrera ‘s firing from Scream 7 in November 2023 after she expressed support for Palestine on her social media following the October 2023 attack on Gaza. Spyglass Media Group, which produced the film, said in a statement at the time, “Spyglass’ stance is unequivocally clear: We have zero tolerance for antisemitism or the incitement of hate in any form, including false references to genocide, ethnic cleansing, Holocaust distortion or anything that flagrantly crosses the line into hate speech.” More to come.
