Five Nights at Freddy's Breaks Box Office Records
The Five Nights at Freddy's movie is breaking records in its first box office weekend. The Blumhouse-produced adaptation of the Five Nights at Freddy's video games will take in $78 million in its first weekend in theaters. That includes $39.4 million on its first day, the best opening day ever for a video game movie, .
The Five Nights at Freddy's movie's box office success comes despite the film receiving a negative reaction from critics. ComicBook.com's Megan Peters awarded the movie only 2.5 stars out of a possible 5 in her review. She writes: "Since the release of Five Nights at Freddy's nearly a decade ago, the franchise has become a giant with horror lovers. This means expectations for its movie adaptation were high, and sadly, Five Nights at Freddy's did not meet them. The film's sanitized scares strips the franchise of its legendary tension. When paired with its muddled story, the only thing that kept Five Nights at Freddy's afloat for me was its filmography and Easter eggs.
Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour is expected to fall into second place, with Maritn Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon in third. The Angel Studios documentary After Death and Blumhouse's The Exorcist: Believer will round out the top five. The full list of the top films at the box office this weekend is in the works.
