'Five Nights at Freddy's' Movie Smashes Blumhouse Records
Five Nights at Freddy's is the biggest Blumhouse global opening of all time, ahead of Halloween ($91.8M).
That's not all though, the Five Nights at Freddy's movie was also the biggest opening for a horror film directed by a woman, so major props to Emma Tammi. She has also directed Into the Dark: Delivered and Election Day: Lens Across America (doc film co-directed with Henry Jacobson) for Blumhouse.
Other landmark achievements for Five Nights at Freddy's:
It's the 19th Blumhouse film to open in first place at the domestic box office.
It had the highest-grossing opening weekend for a Blumhouse film, surpassing Halloween ($76.222M).
Five Nights At Freddy’s will mark the 19th time a film from Blumhouse Productions will open to the No. 1 spot at the domestic box office, and will bring Blumhouse Productions total domestic box office to more than $3 Billion.
It was the highest opening for any PG-13 horror film surpassing The Mummy Returns ($68.139M).
It was the biggest original horror opening of 2023, and the second biggest horror opening just behind The Nun II.
