The movie had a $20 million budget, so things are looking good.

The Five Nights at Freddy's movie has now cleared more than $200 million at the box office against a reported budget of $20 million. According to the latest box office numbers from Variety, the FNAF film earned another $19.4 million in the US for its second weekend to help push global figures to more than $217 million.
Most movies experience double-digit percent declines in box office results after the first weekend, and the FNAF movie was no different. Its second-weekend domestic result of $19.4 million was down 76% from its record-breaking $80 million debut.
In any event, though, the FNAF movie has now eclipsed $113 million in the US alone. Also worth noting is that the FNAF movie debuted in theaters and on Peacock at the same time, which could have played a role in its total box office performance. In fact, Variety quoted box office analysts as saying that the in-theater and on-demand simultaneous rollout for the FNAF definitely softened box office numbers for the second weekend in particular.
That may be true, but the FNAF is a huge commercial hit in any event. It was Blumhouse's biggest opening weekend ever, and it is now the highest-grossing horror movie of 2023 after just 10 days in the US. It beats out Scream VI ($108 million), M3gan ($95 million), and The Nun II ($85 million).
The film was directed by Emma Tammi (Into the Dark, The Wind) based on a script by Cawthon, Tammi, Seth Cuddeback, Chris Lee Hill, and Tyler MacIntyre.
The FNAF movie stars Josh Hutcherson (The Hunger Games) and Matthew Lillard (Scooby-Doo). Jim Henson's Creature Shop working on the spooky animatronics.

Even Five Nights At Freddy's Fans Missed Golden Freddy's Cameo
One of the big complaints critics had with FNAF was its obsession with lore and deep cuts, making it inaccessible for those who haven't played the games. There's a pretty good example of just that lurking toward the end of the film with Golden Freddy, an animatronic that most people assumed was just... regular old Freddy.
