Rebecca Rubin Senior Film and Media Reporter Get ready for more Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. “Five Nights at Freddy’s,” a horror-thriller set a haunted Chuck E. Cheese-esque establishment, is getting a sequel in the fall of 2025.

Five Nights at Freddy’s is spooking up a record on Peacock.

A sequel for the horror movie Five Nights at Freddy’s has not yet been announced, but it seems inevitable after the film earned $80 million during its opening weekend.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter “Five Nights at Freddy’s” scared up $80 million at the domestic box office in its first weekend of release, above Sunday’s already-huge estimate of $78 million. Universal and Blumhouse released the film, which landed simultaneously on the parent company’s streaming service Peacock. With Monday’s final figures, “Five Nights” has tied Disney’s 2021 Marvel adventure “Black Widow” ($80 million in theaters and $60 million on Disney+) as the biggest opening weekend for a day-and-date streaming release.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter “Five Nights at Freddy’s,” Universal and Blumhouse‘s terrifying adaptation of the popular video game, made a killing in its box office debut with $78 million in North America and $130 million globally. For a $20 million-budgeted horror film that landed simultaneously on streaming (in this case, the NBCUniversal-owned service Peacock), these ticket sales would have been significant by the end of its theatrical run. In just three days of release, “Five Nights at Freddy’s” has already surpassed the entire global haul of 2022’s “Halloween Ends” ($104 million) and will soon overtake 2021’s “Halloween Kills” ($133 million) — which previously ranked as the biggest hybrid releases from Universal and Peacock.

Ethan Shanfeld SPOILER ALERT: This story contains spoilers for “Five Nights at Freddy’s,” currently in theaters and streaming on Peacock. Have you ever been enjoying an afternoon at Chuck E. Cheese and thought, “What if these singing animatronics were operated by the spirits of dead children? And what if, when they’re finished strumming fake guitars, they locked the doors to the building and tried to murder me?” That’s (basically) the idea behind “Five Nights at Freddy’s,” Hollywood’s latest video game adaptation that’s set to be the sleeper horror hit of the fall.

Starting on Oct.

In the new film version of the popular video game, Five Nights At Freddy’s, it is the Jim Henson Creature Shop and their talented puppeteers and character actors who are the real stars of this Blumhouse take on the game that the under 25 male set particularly warmed up to since its debut in 2014. Whether they will be happy with this carefully constructed but safe PG13 movie that sacrifices hard-core horror for character development and that at times just drags along, time will tell.

Murtada Elfadl Hollywood has not been successful at turning video games into movies — a disappointing streak that “Five Nights at Freddy’s” fails to correct. Despite being shepherded by savvy low-budget horror producer Jason Blum, this is a rather empty and unexciting effort at attracting horror fans during Halloween season. Director Emma Tammi’s film squanders the game’s strange and unique-looking creatures, failing to add recognizable traits to the characters written for the film.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Horror fans hoping the PG-13-rated “Five Nights at Freddy’s” might go the “M3GAN” route and release an R-rated cut on streaming at a later date are not in luck. Director Emma Tammi has stated in several interviews ahead of the film’s release that her film was always designed to be PG-13 and an R-rated cut is not in the works. Rumors have circulated online that Universal will eventually release an R-rated “Freddy’s,” but Tammi is denying such claims.

Sasha Urban editorAfter first being announced in 2015, the “Five Nights at Freddy’s” movie is finally pulling back the curtain. Universal has released the first teaser for the Blumhouse horror film, giving viewers their first look at how the popular survival horror video game’s terrifying animatronics will be brought to life.“Five Nights at Freddy’s” is based on the video game franchise created by Scott Cawthon, which released its first entry in 2014 and quickly rocketed to massive popularity. The game sees players in various locations tied to the fictional pizza restaurant “Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza.” Throughout the different games, players are tasked with surviving the onslaught of hostile animatronic characters inside the haunted Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza restaurant, using security cameras, lights and doors to survey the area.

Like the game, the teaser introduces us to a new security guard at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria, a Chuck-E-Cheese-esque kids arcade and pizzeria with an animatronic animal band led by Freddy Fazbear. Josh Hutcherson plays Mike, the poor soul tasked with watching the pizzeria at night, not knowing that Freddy and his fellow animatronics Bonnie, Chica and Foxy have a life of their own…and a desire to kill.

The long-in-the-works feature adaptation of the hit video game Five Nights at Freddy’s has found a director and is headed toward “an early 2023 production start,” according to an announcement from Blumhouse, which is producing.

Adam B. Vary Senior Entertainment Writer Blumhouse is ready to spend “Five Nights at Freddy’s.” The venerable horror production company has set Emma Tammi (“The Wind”) to direct an adaptation of the popular video game series, set in a Chuck E. Cheese-like children’s restaurant called Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, where the animatronic creatures within go on a killing rampage after closing time. Jim Henson’s Creature Shop are handling the creation of the evil, murderous children’s mascots. Launched in 2014, the “Five Nights at Freddy’s” video game series quickly developed a robust and inventive fan base due in part to its unusual approach to survival horror gameplay. Rather than navigate the restaurant or fight off the rampaging animatronics, the game places the player in the role of the night watchman, who must remain in their office and use a limited number of grainy security cameras feeds and electronic door controls to track the movements of the creatures. If the player survives five nights — and a subsequent bonus night — they effectively win the game (by getting fired). Subsequent sequels expanded the scope of the world of the game and its macabre mythology.
