Five Nights at Freddy’s, which stars Josh Hutcherson, has exceeded expectations and broken records for its debut at the domestic box office.
The Big Picture Universal’s Five Nights at Freddy's is pulling younger audiences in massively unexpected numbers in its debut weekend at the domestic box office. After grossing nearly $40 million on opening day, the horror video game adaptation is eyeing an estimated $78 million across its first weekend of release. This marks a new Halloween record, and the biggest horror opening of the year — both by wide margins.
Like Believer, Five Nights at Freddy’s attracted mostly negative critical reception, with Collider’s Chase Hutchinson calling it a “horrifyingly robotic video game adaptation” in his review. The film currently sits at a “rotten” 25% score on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. Audience response, on the other hand, has been very encouraging. Five Nights at Freddy’s earned an A- CinemaScore from opening day crowds, which is highly unusual for a horror title.
