The Five Nights at Freddy's movie adaptation has set a new box office record for Blumhouse Productions, officially surpassing the previously most successful film, Split. The horror feature, based on the popular game franchise, achieved a worldwide gross of over $283 million, beating Split's total by a notable margin. This success comes despite the movie having a moderate budget of $20 million and being simultaneously released for streaming on Peacock.

Jason Blum, the founder of Blumhouse Productions, expressed his gratitude on social media to everyone involved in the film's production, including the director, Emma Tammi, creator Scott Cawthon, the cast, and crew. The impressive opening weekend saw the Five Nights at Freddy's movie bring in $78 million domestically, with a strong performance in the following weeks.

The film's achievement has been acknowledged by its creator, Scott Cawthon, who appreciated the audience's response and recognized their critiques. While a sequel has not been officially announced, the overwhelming success of the first movie hints that a follow-up Five Nights at Freddy's film is likely in the cards for fans of the horror franchise.
