Despite middling to negative reviews, Five Nights At Freddy's is already poised to break box office records in its debut weekend.
The Big Picture Universal’s Five Nights at Freddy’s, a PG-13 slasher film based on the popular video game franchise of the same name, is pushing back against poor reviews by posting record numbers for the Halloween weekend box office. And it’s doing this with a day-and-date release on the Peacock streaming service. The film grossed a massive $39 million on Friday, which includes the $10 million that it made in Thursday previews, and is headed toward a record-breaking $78 million opening weekend.
If these projections hold, the movie will deliver the biggest-ever Halloween debut, and the biggest horror opening of the year so far, both by wide margins. While the movie has received lukewarm reviews, fan reception has been more encouraging. Five Nights at Freddy’s earned a spectacular A- CinemaScore from opening day audiences, which is an incredibly rare achievement for a horror movie and is currently sitting at an 89% audience approval rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.
The Rest of the Box Office's Halloween Weekend Top Five Was Dominated by Holdovers The second spot this weekend is going to Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour concert film, which had been topping the box office for two weekends in a row in its unconventional rollout. The film is only playing over the weekends, from Thursday to Sunday, before beginning the second leg of its worldwide release on November 3. The Eras Tour grossed $4.
Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon is eyeing around $10 million in its second weekend, after reporting a $3.6 million Friday. The three-and-a-half-hour epic was always going to be a difficult sell to general audiences, despite the presence of Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro in front of the camera, and Scorsese behind it. The film made $23 million in its opening weekend, and will likely pass the $43 million mark by Sunday.
