His new agents at WME are Andreas Valhouli, Philip d&#8217;Amecourt, and Trevor Astbury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Within two weeks of release, Tiddes&#8217; <em>Scary Movie<\/em> became the third-highest grossing installment in the franchise, hitting over $200M globally and scoring a franchise-record opening weekend of $55 million, a significant win for theatrical comedies after their sharp decline that began around 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prior to the <em>Scary Movie<\/em> hit, Tiddes scored back-to-back No. 1 Netflix films with <em>Sextuplets<\/em> and <em>Naked<\/em>, both collaborations with <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/celebrity\/marlon-wayans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Marlon Wayans<\/a>. He made his feature directorial debut with 2013&#8217;s <em>A Haunted House<\/em>, which grossed over $60 million worldwide on a budget of just $2.5 million. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The signing follows a strong pattern of WME adding proven comedy and genre directors, much like <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/ivy-wolk-signs-with-wme-for-representation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ivy Wolk&#8217;s recent signing with WME<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/rick-glassman-signs-with-wme-for-representation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rick Glassman&#8217;s deal with the agency<\/a>. WME has also been aggressive in signing genre filmmakers, as seen with <a href=\"https:\/\/bookingagentinfo.com\/news\/chris-thomas-devlin-signs-with-wme-for-representation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Chris Thomas Devlin&#8217;s recent WME deal<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tiddes continues to be repped by Artists First for management and Sechel PR for publicity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Takeaways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This signing is a clear signal of momentum; you don&#8217;t land WME&#8217;s Film\/TV Literary team without having box office receipts to back it up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With <em>Scary Movie<\/em> already the third-highest grossing entry in the franchise on a $30 million budget, and Tiddes already teasing a potential <em>Scary Movie 7<\/em>, this deal positions him as one of Hollywood&#8217;s hottest comedy directors going into the next phase of his career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fact that he keeps Artists First and Sechel PR in place speaks to a team that clearly works, WME simply adds firepower on the deal-making and packaging front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With <em>Scary Movie<\/em> crossing $200M, does Tiddes now have the leverage to step outside the Wayans universe and build his own franchise? Could WME&#8217;s packaging muscle connect Tiddes with A-list studio projects beyond parody films?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Filmmaker Michael Tiddes has signed with William Morris Endeavor (WME) for representation in the Film\/TV \u2013 Literary space, following the record-breaking box office success of Scary Movie (2026).
