I'm forever grateful to you and to what this franchise has given me over the past 25 years." "Sadly, I won't be making the next Scream film," she shared in a statement issued to E! News on June 6. Earlier this year, Paramount and Spyglass released the fifth installment of Scream, which grossed more than $140 million worldwide, according to Deadline. After the success of that film, the studio announced that they would be making plans for a sixth movie to be released.

Scream 6's failure to bring back Neve Campbell's franchise heroine, Sidney Prescott, is a disappointing insult to the iconic horror legend's legacy.

Although not a lot is known about Campbell’s salary demands, it is unlikely that the star is looking for more than is fair given what she provides for the slasher franchise. Since 1996’s revolutionary meta-slasher offered a self-aware deconstruction of the sub-genre, Campbell’s resilient franchise heroine has been one of horror cinema’s most memorable Final Girls. Tough, witty, and charismatic despite the trauma the series put her through, Sidney Prescott is one of the horror genre’s most complex and deservedly acclaimed characters. Sidney effectively handed the torch over to a new generation while still being as strong, endearing, and charming as ever.

The 48-year-old actress made the "very difficult decision" to reject the offer to return for Scream 6 over pay discrepancies.

The mind-blowing difference in paydays between the two stars garnered a lot of attention, both within and outside the industry, with Williams admitting that being paid a lot less than her male counterpart is standard fare. Margulies famously refused to return to her Emmy-winning role as Alicia Floreck for the third season of The Good Wife, despite “really wanting to do it,” after the network refused her rate. It’s a complete shame, and a major loss for fans, that the studio isn’t willing to offer their top star what she deserves. “I’m not a guest star; I started the whole thing with The Good Wife. I wanted to be paid my worth and stand up for equal pay. “I’m forever grateful to you and to what this franchise has given me over the past 25 years.” You’ve always been so incredibly supportive to me,” the statement continued.

Neve Campbell isn't in 'Scream 6' due to money negotiations. Here's a look at her net worth, plus what she's made from each 'Scream' movie.

Obviously, a lot of this is from the Scream franchise, but let's not forget that Neve was also in Party of Five, has starred in a ton of movies (The Craft, anyone?), and has money tied up in real estate. Neve also spoke to Variety (in conversation with fellow horror franchise star Jamie Lee Curtis) about her payment on Scream without getting into specific numbers. Deadline reports that the last Scream film (Scream 5) grossed $140 million worldwide—pretty huge considering we've been in a pandemic slump.

"A Scream movie without Sidney is kind of unfortunate, but I understand her decision," Arquette says.

Campbell announced her exit from the film on Monday. “Sadly I won’t be making the next Scream film,” she said in a statement. “I’d love for her to be a part of it,” the actor tells ComicBook. “A Scream movie without Sidney is kind of unfortunate, but I understand her decision.

The first film, released in 1996, was a surprise smash upon its debut, helping to revive the horror genre for the decade and becoming the highest-grossing slasher movie of all time until it was dethroned by last year’s Halloween reboot. It’s all a business in a way, they have to balance all these elements to fit a budget and produce a film. Campbell’s departure from the series is a shocking one, as she’s been a mainstay in every Scream film.

There will never be another Sidney Prescott. scream-4-sidney-prescott-neve-campbell-feature Image Via Dimension Films.

Whether it was in the beginning as she was struck with fear or when she grew into being a fearsome force in her own right, she remained a consistent strength that shined through at every possible opportunity. The films would have not been the same without her, a reality that we will have to contend with when the next film comes around. From the moment she first gets a call about how the killings have resumed, you can feel both the exhaustion and resolve as she realizes she has to go through it all again. She anchored the story each time so that, even when it occasionally floated adrift, she could bring it back to shore and get things back on track. Neve Campbell, Sidney Prescott herself, announced on Monday that she won’t be coming back as she “felt the offer that was presented to me did not equate to the value I have brought to the franchise.” The announcement was both a rather surprising and disappointing one. Even as Sidney had to keep outsmarting the gruesome killers, there was never a second that we didn’t believe she was capable of pulling it all off and surviving once again.
