The Thanksgiving holiday weekend is always a big one for the U.S. box office, and this year proved to be no exception, particularly when it came to such mega-releases as The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, Ridley Scott’s Napoleon and Disney’s latest animated heartwarmer Wish. But those certainly weren’t the only films with something to celebrate, as the video game adaptation Five Nights at Freddy’s managed to hit a huge milestone for not just the film, but the studio that brought it to life. So like…where’s all the sequel news?
When the five-day totals were tallied for the festive weekend's box office results, Five Nights at Freddy’s confirmed itself as the most successful Blumhouse Productions release to date on a global scale. Currently, FNAF has made a worldwide total of $283.1 million, a number that puts it safely atop M. Night Shyamalan’s 2016 stealth sequel Split, which tapped out of its box office run at $278.7 million. To everyone around the planet: all hail Freddy Fazbear!
