Blumhouse is going to be toasting hard with Sodaronis this week, as the horror-loving studio celebrates its biggest global opening ever with Five Nights at Freddy's.
The Winddirector Emma Tammi's adaptation of the popular horror-survival video game is the biggest global opening ever for a Blumhouse film, selling $130.5 million in tickets, surpassing the 2018 reboot of Halloween, which made $91.8 million worldwide on its opening weekend.
Making a whopping $78 million at the North American box office alone, Five Nights at Freddy's is also the biggest ever domestic opening for a horror film directed by a woman. Tammi's film follows Nia DaCosta's 2021 Candyman reboot/sequel, whichmade cinema history as the first film directed by a Black woman to debut at the top of the U.S. box office, earning over $22.3 million domestic in its opening weekend.

Based on the first game in the series, the film follows security guard Mike Schmidt (Hunger Gamesstar Josh Hutcherson), whose job guarding the crumbling Freddy Fazbear's Pizza becomes more or less focused on dealing with the pizzeria's bunch of busted, murderous, animatronic band of mascots, who don't take too kindly to unwelcome visitors.
