As anticipated, Five Nights at Freddy's has made an outstanding entrance at the US box office, raking in $39.4 million within its first two days. This total includes a hefty $10.3 million from Thursday night's preview screenings alone.

When comparing this achievement to others in the same genre, The Nun II took in $32 million, The Exorcist: Believer garnered $28 million, and Evil Dead Rise collected $24.5 million in their respective opening weekends.

Despite the fierce competition from Killers of the Flower Moon and Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, the film adaptation of the video game appears set to dominate the box office this weekend
