The highly anticipated horror sequel "Five Nights at Freddy's 2" has launched with a promising $7.2 million in Thursday previews. Industry projections estimate the film will secure between $35 million and $40 million during its opening weekend. This performance, while robust, is anticipated to fall short of the original 2023 film's blockbuster debut.
The first "Five Nights at Freddy's" movie, inspired by the popular video game series, achieved a staggering $80 million opening. It went on to become Blumhouse's highest-grossing film globally, earning nearly $300 million. The sequel, with a budget of $36 million, aims to replicate this success and turn a profit during the holiday season.
Returning cast members Josh Hutcherson, Matthew Lillard, Elizabeth Lail, and Piper Rubio reprise their roles. Director Emma Tammi and creator Scott Cawthon are also back for the sequel, which welcomes new cast members. Despite the sequel's strong start, "Zootopia 2" is expected to remain the box office leader this weekend.
