Five Nights At Freddy’s Beating Super Mario Bros’ Record Is More Impressive Than Its Box Office

Five Nights at Freddy’s is a record-breaking success, and beating one of The Super Mario Bros. Movie‘s records is the most impressive. The two biggest video games movies of 2023 both proved to be among the biggest new releases of the year, even though they are completely different. While most expected Illumination’s animated Mario movie to dominate the box office as it did, Five Nights at Freddy’s box office performance is a surprise. The PG-13 horror video game movie shattered expectations during its $130 million opening weekend worldwide, instantly making it incredibly profitable for Universal and Blumhouse.
