It's time to go back to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza because "Five Nights at Freddy's" is back in theaters.
Universal and Blumhouse's PG-13 horror sequel "Five Nights at Freddy's 2" made $7.2 million in Thursday previews.
It's expected to make between $35 million and $40 million in its opening this weekend.
Compared to the original 2023 movie, which was based on the popular horror video game series, this sequel has lower expectations.
The first movie made $10.3 million in previews and went on to earn a strong $80 million opening. That was more than expected, especially since it came out at the same time on Peacock. However, the original was a huge hit, becoming Blumhouse's highest-grossing movie with nearly $300 million worldwide. The sequel has a budget of $36 million, which is higher than the first movie's $20 million. This should help it stay in theaters during the holiday season and make a profit.
Josh Hutcherson, Matthew Lillard, Elizabeth Lail, and Piper Rubio are back for more animatronic scares at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.
The robots become creepy killers at night. Director Emma Tammi and writer and video game series creator Scott Cawthon are both returning for the sequel. Newcomers include McKenna Grace, Teo Briones, Freddy Carter, and others.
However, last week's Thanksgiving winner "Zootopia 2" is expected to make $44 million to $50 million, a big drop from its $98 million opening.
Universal's "Wicked: For Good" is heading for $21 million to $25 million in its third weekend.
Other new movies include "Jujutsu Kaisen: Execution," which is projected to earn $8 million to $10 million; Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair," expected to make $5 million to $10 million; and a filmed version of Broadway's "Merrily We Roll Along" and the British comedy "Fackham Hall," both expected to make around $3 million.
