As its theatrical run begins to wind down, the Five Nights at Freddy’s movie has gone and set another record by becoming Blumhouse’s biggest performer of all time at the box office.
Five Nights at Freddy’s Has Another Celebratory Pizza Party
The video game adaptation, released one month ago today, has chalked up a worldwide total of $283 million at the box office on a relatively meager $25 million budget. It surpasses previous title holder Split, the M. Night Shyamalan movie, which hit around $278 million in 2016.
Jason Blum took to social media to congratulate the team behind the hit horror movie.
It means that along with being the top-performing horror of the year, best opening for a Blumhouse movie, and Blumhouse’s best to date, it’s the second-best performance of any horror movie post-COVID behind A Quiet Place Part 2.
The film follows a troubled security guard (Hutcherson) as he begins working at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. While spending his first night on the job, he realizes the night shift at Freddy’s won’t be easy to make it through.
Five Nights at Freddy’s stars Josh Hutcherson, Elizabeth Lail, Matthew Lillard, Piper Rubio, Kat Conner Sterling, Mary Stuart Masterson, Lucas Grant, and Jessica Blackmore. The screenplay comes from Tammi, Seth Cuddeback, and Scott Cawthon, the latter of whom created the Five Nights at Freddy’s franchise. Cawthon and Jason Blum both serve as producers.
The film will see a November 28 digital release, before hitting home video on December 12. It comes nearly a month after the Josh Hutcherson-led movie made its theatrical and Peacock debut.
