In the ever-changing world of cinema, where streaming services are revolutionizing the way we watch movies, a well-known yet spooky name is dominating the box office. The most recent horror film from Universal and Blumhouse, "Five Nights at Freddy's," has achieved a historic milestone. With an incredible $78 million opening weekend, the movie has broken box office records and demonstrated the continued appeal of the big screen.
The fact that the movie was simultaneously released on Peacock, Universal's sibling streaming service, adds even more significance to this accomplishment. A successful theatrical debut can coexist with streaming alternatives, as "Five Nights at Freddy's" has shown in an era where many studios are experimenting with day-and-date releases on both streaming platforms and in theaters.
With a staggering $39.5 million on Friday, the horror film began its record run. Of those, an astounding $10.3 million came from Thursday screenings.
