Despite a universal panning from critics, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 seems to have landed on its feet with its intended audience coming out in droves, helping push the film to be the best post-Thanksgiving weekend opening, a notoriously slow and difficult frame, and the second-best opening for a horror film this year after franchise heavy hitter The Conjuring: Last Rites. The film made $63 million at the domestic box office and brought home an additional $46.1 million from overseas for a grand total of $109 million. This does not include any known streaming numbers, as it has been dual-released on Universal’s streaming platform Peacock, so its actual numbers will likely be much higher even if not counted for the official theatrical box office totals.

Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 sees most of the cast reprising their roles, along with Emma Tammi in the director’s chair. Audiences have given the enviable B CinemaScore, rare and hard to come by for horror, to the film, helping boost it further. Despite the much weaker opening than its $80 million predecessor, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 is likely to still make a few more splashes before its curtain call, making it another shiny example of films catering to fans over critics. FNAF 2 only cost $36 million to produce and is already well on its way to being one of Blumhouse’s best outings for 2025.

Another winner for this weekend is Disney, which has finally crossed the five billion profit mark for 2025, something the company has only achieved a total of three times since 2018, with Zootopia 2′s second week of $43 million helping it make the last of the sprint. Another stellar overseas performance has helped push the film closer and closer to the 1 billion mark, making it only the second film from Disney this year to do so after the live-action Lilo & Stitch, though it will likely not be the last if Avatar: Fire and Ash performs as well as its predecessors have.

Third place for this weekend went to Wicked: For Good with $16.75 million, in a steep 73% drop from its sophomore outing, it’s now slightly under where its predecessor Wicked was by its third week.

Fourth place went to Jujitsu Kaisen: Execution, another anime film performing extremely well in theaters despite a limited release, netting a total of $10.15 million for its premiere. Now You See Me: Now You Don’t took fifth place for this week with $3.5 million in its fourth week.

Kicking off the bottom five in sixth place is Quentin Tarantino’s extended version of Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair, combining both volumes 1 and 2 with a never-before-seen cut animated sequence added in, balanced with a 15-minute intermission for the now 4-hour film. Taking home $3.25 million from its limited special event release, The Whole Bloody Affair managed to carve out a lead over the indie and award contenders that made up the bottom ten.

Eternity took seventh with $2.72 million in its second week, beating Hamnet also in its second week with $2.3 million, even with the massive boon that the much wider release has given it.

Predator: Badlands fell to ninth this week with $1.85 million after 5 weeks, beating The Running Man in its fourth week, still with $1.11 million.
