With Emma Tammi's Five Nights At Freddy's 2, Blumhouse Productions and Universal Pictures decided to take a different tactic than the one taken with the movie's 2023 predecessor. In releasing the first adaptation of the popular video game series, the studios decided to go with a day-and-date strategy, making it available for Peacock subscribers and theater-goers simultaneously, but the rough consequence of this call was a 76 percent post-premiere weekend-to-weekend drop. An attempt was made to avoid this fate for the sequel by giving it an exclusive release in cinemas... and sadly, the numbers show that it did not work out well at all.
After dominating the box office last weekend, Five Nights At Freddy's 2 now has to settle for second place, as Zootopia 2 has proven resurgent and has won its second box office crown since arriving in multiplexes late last month. Check out the full Top 10 below and join me after for analysis.
