‘Five Nights at Freddy’s’ to Debut Simultaneously in Theaters and on Peacock in October

“Five Nights at Freddy’s” has set an October release date to terrify audiences in multiplexes… and on Peacock.
Universal Pictures has announced a simultaneous release for the Blumhouse-produced adaptation of the popular horror video game series, setting an Oct. 27, 2023 date for both a theatrical bow and a debut on the studio’s streaming service.
Producer Jason Blum, a prolific presence on Twitter, took to the platform Wednesday evening to make an announcement of the release date, though a note on the simultaneous Peacock debut is absent.
A day-and-date horror release has become an annual affair for Universal. This will mark the third time that the studio has set a hybrid debut for a Blumhouse production in October. Previously, both “Halloween Kills” (2021) and “Halloween Ends” (2022) landed on Peacock the same day that they opened in theaters.

Like the two “Halloween” entries,” “Five Nights at Freddy’s” carries the name of an established horror property (albeit a video game, as opposed to a film franchise). Although no production budget has been officially disclosed, Blumhouse’s output has a reputation for slim costs, meaning that they don’t often require staggering ticket sales to turn a profit in theaters.
Universal has also experimented with day-and-date Peacock releases for other films, such as the DreamWorks Animation sequel “The Boss Baby: Family Business” and the Jennifer Lopez romantic comedy “Marry Me.”
Directed by Emma Tammi, “Five Nights at Freddy’s” follows a security guard who experiences a series of terrors at the pizza joint he’s taken the night shift at. The film stars Josh Hutcherson, Elizabeth Lail, Piper Rubio, Kat Conner Sterling, Mary Stuart Masterson and Matthew Lillard, as well as animatronic designs and technology by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop.
“Five Nights at Freddy’s” is produced by Blum and Scott Cawthon. Executive producers include Bea Sequeira, Russell Binder and Christopher H. Warner. The film is produced by Blumhouse, in association with Striker Entertainment.
My daughter has been waiting on this for years. Already has a huge friend group seeing it on the first day.
Since most of the jump scares in the games consisted of the puppets putting their faces up in the camera,i wonder if theyll re-create those for the movie..or just use one of Freddy himself at the very end when they do the "The end..or is it..?" bit before the end credits
Yup

I liked it, it's definitely geared for a younger demographic and it's not exactly scary or gory but I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. To me it felt like an episode of are you afraid of the dark that was stretched into a feature length film.
I guess it's a lot of video game nerds, because my theaters are surprisingly pretty full
yup
This bullshit made almost $80 mil.

I knew it was gonna make money cause I know it has a huge following. Never played the game just know it's been featured on the react channel for many yrs. Every single one of their games multiple times. If you know about react channel their vids get millions of views for a lot of their segments. I know this shit ain't for me and I know things like Barbie made a billion, super Mario, so this shit was gonna do high 8 to 9 figs
You were in the minority.
So many so call "experts" backtracking like f*ck right now.
It makes sense but it it had flopped? People would have a ton of numbers and reasons to support that.
All this at its core is really a crap shoot. Some hits some flops are just unexplainable.
You always stress that there are so many groups that are "unseen" by the general public and they exist and the get money and they are passionate about what they care about.

Yep demographic, cult followings... I think the "experts" were looking at it more as was it entertaining or good. They more likely didn't know about the history and cult following of this. I can admit I had a cheat code about if it was gonna make money cause of that YouTube channel that always featured this game several times a yr and them talking about how mad people liked it. If you didn't know the background story and just went off the trailer and plot you probably think it looks ass and wonder why the fuck does this film even exist. It looks like some random b movie if you don't know the history
But that says a lot about YOU
You looking at at from all angles
Not just your personal experience and bias
And also not about "good" or "bad" cause for the most part its completely subjective and not a great predictor of success.
