The video game adaptation has been breaking records aplenty in its first few days in theaters, but its day-and-date streaming release on Peacock has seen it topple previous most-watched titles such as Halloween Ends, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Bel-Air, and The Best Man: The Final Chapters.
After landing on Peacock last Friday, it has been the most-watched entertainment title across all genres since its debut, and is now the biggest opening ever for a film on Peacock through five days.
Five Nights at Freddy’s has been smashing box office records, opening at $132.7 million globally to become the biggest horror film opening of 2023, as well as the biggest Blumhouse global opening of all time. In the U.S., the film earned $80 million and is Blumhouse’s 19th film to open No. 1 at the domestic box office, becoming the second biggest opening weekend of all time for a film based on a video game behind only Illumination’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie and is the biggest opening weekend for a horror film directed by a woman.
The film, directed by Emma Tammi, follows Mike (Josh Hutcherson), a troubled young man caring for his 10-year-old sister Abby (Piper Rubio), and haunted by the unsolved disappearance of his younger brother more than a decade before. Recently fired and desperate for work to keep custody of Abby, Mike agrees to be a night security guard at an abandoned theme restaurant: Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria. But Mike soon discovers that nothing at Freddy’s is what it seems. With the aid of Vanessa, a local police officer (Elizabeth Lail), Mike’s nights at Freddy’s will lead him into unexplainable encounters with the supernatural and drag him into the black heart of an unspeakable nightmare.
Five Nights at Freddy’s is available now in theaters and via Peacock.
