Raked in 23% more than its break-even target in its opening weekend alone
According to several media reports, including Variety, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 was made on a budget of $36 million, which places it in the moderately budgeted group. According to industry standards, the film needed $90 million to break even at the box office, whereas it raked in $110.5 million in its opening weekend alone. Thus, the sequel has collected 23% more than its estimated break-even target.
For the unversed, the first film was reportedly made on a budget of $20 million and collected $80 million in its opening weekend at the domestic box office alone. The 2023 horror film was a blockbuster, grossing over $291.6 million during its global run. The first film earned almost 15 times more than its modest budget. Although the sequel will likely be a box office success, whether it can surpass the 2023 blockbuster is the real question. Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 was released on December 5.
