‘Five Nights at Freddy’s 2’ Jolts Box Office With $56M+ Record Opening For Post-Thanksgiving Weekend – Saturday Update

SATURDAY AM: Blumhouse-Atomic Monster has their second No. 1 opening movie of the year with Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, which is now lighting up to a massive $56.5M opening after a $29.8M Friday/previews. Blumhouse-Atomic Monster also owns the top two horror openings of the year (yes, they do) with Conjuring: Last Rites ($84M) and now Freddy’s 2.

Again, far and away, this is the best opening that the first frame of December has ever seen. Together with the second weekend of Zootopia 2 ($45M), and the third weekend of Wicked: For Good ($15.6M), the entire historically sluggish frame is fueling to a record $148.6M, which bests last year’s high for the frame of $137M+.

‘Five Nights at Freddy’s 2’ is here. Let’s get excited about these other video game adaptations

Editor’s Note: A version of this story was published in April.

“Five Nights at Freddy’s” cashed in on the popularity of the beloved survival video game that inspired it when the movie was released in 2023, and now it’s back for more.

The creepy animatronic horror sequel, out this weekend, welcomes back Josh Hutcherson, Piper Rubio and “Scream” alum Matthew Lillard, with Mckenna Grace and Wayne Knight (of “Jurassic Park” and “Seinfeld” fame) coming on board as newcomers.

But no one should have been surprised: video game adaptations are an increasingly vital part of the entertainment market, which some say is set to replace superheroes as “Hollywood’s dominant intellectual property.”

‘Five Nights at Freddy’s 2’ scraps together spare parts for a junky sequel

Greenlighting a sequel to 2023’s “Five Nights at Freddy’s” — the mega-popular horror film based on Scott Cawthon’s hit video game franchise — was a no-brainer. After all, the first picture grossed nearly $300 million worldwide, despite mostly poor reviews and a day-and-date release on Peacock. Propelled by a teen-friendly PG-13 rating and the game’s cultish fan base, it became producer Blumhouse’s most successful release, besting company record-holders such as “Get Out,” “Split” and 2018’s “Halloween.”

But “no-brainer” takes on a dual meaning when it comes to “Five Nights at Freddy’s 2,” a laughably cheesy, empty-headed follow-up that makes the mediocre prior film shine in comparison.
