The Five Nights at Freddy's movie has not yet premiered, but it's already a success

After more than 8 years since its revelation, the Five Nights at Freddy's movie is just a few days away from its worldwide release, and everything points to it becoming a phenomenon; in fact, it is already a big success for Blumhouse Productions.

Those in charge of the project have already expressed that they could work on more Five Nights at Freddy's movies, but they should first gauge the audience's response to see if it is profitable. While the first part is still pending, and despite the fact that the film is not yet available, it is a fact that it is already profitable.

Five Nights at Freddy's has not debuted yet, but it has already recouped its production costs

We say this because the founder and CEO of Blumhouse Productions, Jason Blum, revealed that the movie has already recouped the money invested in its production. The executive did not go into details but affirmed that the production costs were recovered solely through the sale of streaming rights and distribution in theaters.

According to details, making the Five Nights at Freddy's movie would have cost around $20 million, a high figure considering the history of Blumhouse Productions.

In other words, the Five Nights at Freddy's movie has already generated around $20 million. The best part is that this figure doesn't even take into account box office revenues, so it is expected that the profits will be much larger.

Will there be a sequel to the Five Nights at Freddy's movie? The odds are high

The above is frankly surprising because, remember, the film will not only be available in theaters but can also be seen on the same day of release through the Peacock streaming platform (only in the United States).

There is no doubt that Blum has struck gold, and the several years spent trying to find the perfect formula were worth it. That said, now it remains for the movie to be well-received by fans so that the continuity of Five Nights at Freddy's in cinema is practically assured.

"People are more excited about Five Nights at Freddy's than anything else I've worked on," the producer confessed.
