'Scream 5' anticipated by Harvey Weinstein

Harvey Weinstein has revealed that he is expecting a fifth instalment of the Scream franchise, despite relatively poor domestic box office results for Scream 4.

The Weinstein Company head, who has executive produced each of the horror films, explained that a further sequel is likely under the helm of director Wes Craven.

He told MTV: "I'm sure [Wes is] going to do a sequel, I'm sure he's going to do a sequel."

Weinstein added that despite poor sales in the US, the fourth movie has performed far better worldwide.

He said: "Foreign [sales] are so strong that we'll do over $100 million worldwide. It's at $90 million now, with about five or six major countries to go and a lot of small ones. We'll probably do $110 million.

"I wish it would have been better domestically. But it's not the worst thing in the world that's ever happened."

Craven had previously described making Scream 4 as "stressful". The movie managed to top the UK box office upon release.
