The makers of Scary Movie 6 have moved up its release date due to overwhelming excitement on social media. The film, shot in Atlanta, with Tyler Perry Studios serving as the main production base, is now set to hit theaters on June 5th.
Atlanta gave the film its main setting behind the camera, with CBS News Atlanta reporting that the movie was filmed there and that Paramount moved up the release date after online excitement built around the project.
The city has long been a major filming hub, and this project joined that pattern. Local coverage said the production stayed in metro Atlanta, which gave the film access to a large crew base and established studio space.
Tyler Perry Studios was the central location for the shoot, with the film made there during principal photography from October 1 to November 24, 2025. The studio sits on the former Fort McPherson army base in southwest Atlanta.
The production's base in southwest Atlanta is an important location as it kept the film close to one of the city's strongest film corridors. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that the project was expected to shoot in metro Atlanta, and the local union IATSE 479 tied the production to Tyler Perry Studios at Fort McPherson.
The location choice fits the film's production style, with a studio-heavy shoot giving a comedy franchise more control over sets, lighting, and timing, which matters for parody scenes and ensemble work.
