Freddy Fazbear is back on top. Despite some chatter that the sequel was in for a somewhat disappointing opening, "Five Nights at Freddy's 2" bested expectations by a considerable margin. While it couldn't match the $80 million opening of 2023's "Five Nights at Freddy's ," it did more than well enough to declare this another big winner for Blumhouse and Universal Pictures.

Director Emma Tammi's "Five Nights at Freddy's 2" opened to $63 million domestically, which was good enough to take the top spot away from " Zootopia 2" following its gigantic Thanksgiving opening. The sequel also added $46.1 million internationally for a $109.1 million global start. The budget is said to be anywhere between $36 and $51 million. So, even at the top end of that range, this is a great start.
