The ongoing Christmas holiday season has provided a solid boost to several American releases, and Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 is among the beneficiaries. Despite facing stiff competition from the theatrical juggernaut Avatar: Fire and Ash, the horror sequel managed to earn a respectable $2 million in North America on its third Tuesday – a modest 3.1% drop from the previous Tuesday. As a result, the film’s domestic total now stands at $113 million. If current momentum continues, it is projected to finish its North American run with a total of between $120 million and $140 million.
On the global front, the film has continued to climb the 2025 box office chart, currently ranked as the 22nd highest-grossing release of the year, as per Box Office Mojo. With a current global tally of $206.4 million, it has recently surpassed the worldwide totals of Snow White ($205.7 million) and One Battle After Another ($205.2 million). After nearly three weeks in theaters, the sequel is on the verge of overtaking a low-budget horror movie that delivered a return of over 40 times its production budget – the 2011 found-footage film Paranormal Activity 3. Let’s break down how much more Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 needs to earn to surpass it at the global box office.

As the above numbers show, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 is currently trailing the third Paranormal Activity installment by a slim margin of roughly $600K, in worldwide earnings. Given its steady global run and the added boost from the Christmas holiday season, it appears only a matter of time before the horror sequel overtakes the found-footage hit at the global box office.

Here’s how Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 stacks up against every entry in the Paranormal Activity series at the global box office, based on Box Office Mojo figures:

Based on these figures, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 has already outgrossed the worldwide totals of every Paranormal Activity film except the third installment. With the sequel currently just shy of overtaking Paranormal Activity 3’s global haul, it is widely expected to surpass the franchise’s highest-grossing entry soon.
