How Five Nights At Freddy’s Became 2023’s Biggest Horror Movie (& What It Means For The Future)

The video game adaptation Five Nights At Freddy’s overcame a lot of stiff competition to become 2023’s biggest horror movie, and this could potentially have a major impact on the genre going forward. Even though it took years for Five Nights At Freddy’s to make its way to screens, viewers evidently decided the movie adaptation of the acclaimed video game was worth the wait. Five Nights At Freddy’s failed to impress critics upon its October release but, with box office receipts of over $280 million, the adaptation was a huge hit with audiences. This news will likely have far-reaching industry consequences as studios scramble to repeat its success.
