No one expected the great impact that the new movie would be having, especially since it is an adaptation of a video game that at the time caused a lot of love and impact on the public. It is Five Nights at Freddy’s and the movie is already a box office hit.
Even bigger than productions that people are already watching for the Academy Awards, FNAT has broken box office revenues, positioning it as one of the most beloved movies of 2023, taking into account that great works such as Barbie and Oppenheimer were also released.
Five Nights at Freddy’s dethrones Taylor Swift
The film finished well ahead of Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, which was released through a direct distribution deal with AMC Theatres and earned $14.7 million in its third weekend for a total of $149.3 million in North America.
According to Comscore estimates, Universal Pictures’ animated horror film grossed $78 million at the box office in its first weekend. Despite the film’s same-day release on Peacock, NBCUniversal’s streaming service, “Five Nights at Freddy’s” was successful in ticket sales.
The video game adaptation is now the top opening weekend horror film of 2023, beating “Scream VI’s” domestic score of $44.5 million and “The Nun II’s” worldwide score of $88.1 million. Undoubtedly, the movie has set a trend, and the clips on social networks have boosted ticket sales, making people want to go to the movies to see it.
