After years of anticipation, the highly awaited Five Nights At Freddy's movie has finally hit theaters, instantly becoming a box office sensation. The film, based on the popular horror game franchise, managed to break multiple records and rake in an impressive amount of revenue during its opening weekend.

With a production budget of just $20 million, the PG-13 horror film surpassed all expectations by pulling in a staggering $80 million in North America alone. Its global earnings stood at an impressive $130 million, highlighting the film's widespread appeal and popularity among audiences worldwide.

According to reports from Variety, the FNAF movie's success can be credited to its ability to outperform several well-established and well-known horror films. It managed to surpass the earnings of Halloween, The Mummy, and Scream, demonstrating the strong fan base and anticipation surrounding the game-to-movie adaptation.

Even the new Exorcist film, which had accumulated $120 million as of October 29, fell short of FNAF's opening weekend success. This achievement further showcases the enduring popularity of the Five Nights At Freddy's franchise, particularly among younger audiences.

While some fans and horror critics expressed disappointment with the film's PG-13 rating, it appears to have worked in its favor, making it more accessible to a wider audience demographic. This accessibility likely contributed to its box office success, as younger viewers flocked to theaters to experience the terrifying animatronic-filled world of Five Nights At Freddy's.

Despite receiving a relatively low score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film's revenue numbers indicate a strong start. However, the true test will be how it performs in the weeks to come. Nevertheless, the production companies behind the film, Blumhouse and Universal, are likely pleased with the long-awaited success of the project, especially considering the significant amount of time it took to bring it to the big screen.

Amidst the triumph, fans are already looking towards potential future crossovers, with hopes for a Megan and Five Nights At Freddy's collaboration. While it remains to be seen if such a project will materialize, the record-breaking success of the FNAF film certainly opens up possibilities for further exploration within the franchise.

In conclusion, the Five Nights At Freddy's movie has made a grand entrance into the box office, surpassing expectations and breaking records with its $80 million opening weekend earnings. As fans continue to flock to theaters, it is evident that the enduring popularity of the game franchise has successfully translated to the big screen, solidifying its place in the horror genre and setting the stage for potential future endeavors.
