Five Nights at Freddy s sequel slashes to top of box office Estelle.Bronkhorst Mon, 12/08/2025 - 12:00 LOS ANGELES - Horror video-game movie Five Nights at Freddy s 2 proved jump scares can still rake in the cash with a debut that ruled North American theaters, industry estimates showed Sunday.The second film in Universal s Freddy s franchise -- about animatronic characters at a pizza shop, the tween girl (Piper Rubio) who befriends them, and the murderous if cheesy events that follow -- brought in $63 million in the Friday-through-Sunday period, Exhibitor Relations reported.It earned another $46 million internationally. Critics reviews are poor, but the genre is immune to reviews, said David A. Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research. The audience score is more important, and it s very good for a horror picture, although not as good as the first pic. Sliding to the second spot was another sequel, Disney s feel-good animated film Zootopia 2. The buddy cop comedy featuring a menagerie of talking animals battling stereotypes earned $43 million, for a two-week total of $220 million and a worldwide haul nearing the $1 billion mark.Dropping one spot to third place, with $16.8 million in its third weekend, was Wicked: For Good, Universal s second chapter in the musical saga of Oz s most notable witches -- the green-skinned, outcast Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) and popular pink-wearing Glinda (Ariana Grande).The Wizard of Oz retelling is based on the long-running Broadway musical, itself adapted from Gregory Maguire s 1995 novel. JUJUTSU KAISEN: Execution landed in fourth spot in its debut. The anime-based tale of violent sorcery released by GKIDS earned $10.2 million.In fifth with $3.5 million was Lionsgate s Now You See Me: Now You Don t, the third instalment in the crime heist franchise.
