Five Nights at Freddy’s was always expected to be a box office success, but it’s become a surprisingly huge hit, and there are a few reasons why. Based on the video game franchise of the same name, Five Nights at Freddy’s revolves around a security guard who discovers a dark secret while working the night shift at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. Five Nights at Freddy’s scored a domestic opening of $78 million – which is $4.4 million shy of Universal’s other big 2023 release, Oppenheimer, which opened to $82.4 million – and a total of $130 million worldwide (via Deadline).
