Despite its day-and-date release in theaters and online, Five Nights at Freddy’s had a very strong opening weekend performance and a surprising and very impressive $130.5 million global box office haul. The horror film claims the top spot beating out the fan-favorite Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour and the prestige picture Killers of the Flower Moon from director Martin Scorsese.
However, if you don’t want to go to the theaters to see what all of the fuss surrounding Five Nights at Freddy’s is about, the film adaptation of the popular video game series is available to stream at home on Peacock.
