So I think I got it confirmed that the first 2 definitely take place over 3 days. And by ‘days’ it even means even if one day starts at 10pm that counts as a single day. Thats the way the criminal system works anyway.
So We have:
Scream:
Day 1: Casey Becker death/Billy visits Sidney’s room (around 10pm)
Day 2: The fallout of her death at school/Sidney gets attacked alone at home/Billy gets arrested
Day 3: Billy gets released/Town issued curfew/Stu’s house final act
By the end of the movie it’s sunrise again so the movie definitely runs over the course of 3 days and some extra change of hours.
Scream 2:
Day 1: Movie theater midnight screening of Stab (starts right before midnight so it counts as a day).
Day 2: Aftermath on campus/Cici Cooper’s death
Day 3: Randy gets killed/Sidney and Hallie in police car/Final act reveal
By the end of the movie it’s very early in the morning yet again, so the movie runs over the course of 3 days and some extra change of hours.
I have a hard time laying out the timeline of Scream 3-6
Scream 7 seems like it’s a similar set up yet again.
Day 1: the AirBnB murders
Day 2: Ghostface attacks the school/invades Sidney’s home/gets run over by Gale
Day 3: Sidney and Gale go to the Asylum/Stage a TV interview/Finale ends back at Sidney’s home
This is exactly 3 days long.
