Shouldn’t that be 10 Nights at Freddy’s? I was told there would be no math.
Anyhoo, the success of Five Nights at Freddy’s took a lot of people in Hollywood by surprise. But it shouldn’t have been a surprise to anyone with kids in the 2010s. Scott Cawthon’s original game franchise was a sensation — if you were listening to the kids. Naturally, those kids got older and were eager to see a movie adaptation.
Maybe it was a little clunky, but so is Freddy Fazbear. I’m ready for a second installment.
From Blumhouse:
Anyone can survive five nights. This time, there will be no second chances.
Blumhouse’s box-office horror phenomenon Five Nights at Freddy’s, the highest-grossing horror film of 2023, begins a blood-chilling new chapter of animatronic terror. Based on Scott Cawthon’s blockbuster game series, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 is directed by acclaimed returning filmmaker Emma Tammi (The Wind, Blood Moon).
The first film, which opened to a record-shattering $80 million and went on to earn almost $300 million worldwide, followed Mike (Josh Hutcherson), a troubled young man who reluctantly takes a job as a night security guard at an abandoned theme restaurant, Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria, hoping it will help him retain custody of his young sister. That fateful decision instead drags him into the black heart of a supernatural nightmare. Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 is again produced by Jason Blum (M3GAN, Black Phone, Halloween franchise) and Scott Cawthon.
