Five Nights at Freddy’s Had Enough Scares to Win Its Second Domestic Weekend Box Office

Five Nights at Freddy’s proved it had enough scares to win its second domestic weekend box office with ticket sales of $19.4 million.

As reported by Comscore, Five Nights at Freddy’s has reached $113.6 million in North America and $217.1 million worldwide. It did, however, have a pretty big 76% drop from its record-breaking opening weekend that saw domestic ticket sales of $78 million and international ticket sales of $52 million.

In our Five Nights at Freddy’s review, we said, “This big-screen take on the indie-horror sensation has too much plot and not enough of the game’s primal security-cam thrills.”

Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour placed second in its fourth weekend with $13.5 million, bringing its North American total to $166 million. Worldwide, Taylor Swift’s concert film has earned a stunning $231.0 worldwide.

Killers of the Flower Moon placed third with $7.0 million, Priscilla took fourth place with $5.0 million, and Radical rounded out the top five with $2.7 million.

Killers of the Flower Moon has now earned $52.3 million domestically and $119.2 million worldwide. Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla, which is based on the 1985 memoir Elvis and Me by Priscilla Presley and Sandra Harmon, expanded to more theaters after a limited run last weekend.

In our Priscilla review, we said, “Sofia Coppola proves to be the perfect choice to tackle the life of Priscilla Presley through a film that deeply understands the desires and dreams of a teenage girl.”
