The movie adaptation of cult videogame Five Nights At Freddy's was Peacock's biggest-ever launch and film studio Blumhouse's top opening of all time. So, despite some pretty mixed reviews, it's hardly surprising that Five Nights At Freddy's is coming back. Speaking at this week's CinemaCon event, Universal revealed that a sequel to the horror movie is already in development, with Blumhouse later posting on X that it is due to land in the fall of 2025.
The film got lots of rather damning reviews when it opened – it's currently sitting with a truly terrible 32% on Rotten Tomatoes – but nevertheless it did big numbers. The Hollywood Reporter says the opening was an impressive $78 million. And game adaptations are hot right now, with the Mario and Sonic movies making lots of money while more serious game adaptations such as The Last of Us and Fallout, which launched this week on Prime Video, getting plenty of kudos from the critics.
