Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 Scares Up Record $63M Box Office Opening, Tops Post-Thanksgiving Charts

Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 had the biggest opening weekend ever at the box office, making $63 million. It also topped the charts after Thanksgiving.

Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 had a huge opening weekend in the US, making an estimated $63 million and setting a record for the weekend after Thanksgiving. In 3,412 theaters, the Blumhouse and Universal horror sequel did better than expected, even though critics gave it a 13% Rotten Tomatoes score. People liked the scares and gave it a solid B CinemaScore, which helped it do better than the first movie’s adjusted opening.

The movie made $46 million around the world, bringing its global opening to $109 million on a budget of only $35–40 million. This performance beat Zootopia 2’s $43 million drop in the US, showing that FNAF 2 is a family-friendly horror movie that appeals to people during a slow time. Josh Hutcherson and Elizabeth Lail, who starred in the first movie, came back for the sequel. This brought fans back to Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza nightmare.

The sequel set many records, including the biggest opening for a horror movie after the holidays. This shows how popular video game adaptations are. With good word-of-mouth, FNAF 2 sets Blumhouse up for another hit that makes money.
