Five Nights at Freddy's movie sees second-largest video game adaptation debut of all time

The Five Nights at Freddy’s movie adaptation from Universal and Blumhouse has seen some impressive numbers following its release, breaking several records in the process.

The live-action adaptation of Scott Cawthon’s video game series, which stars The Hunger Games’ Josh Hutcherson as troubled security Mike Schmidt, made its box office debut last week and has earned $78m in North America and $130m globally since then.

As noted by Variety, this makes the movie the second-largest debut of all time for a video game adaptation in the US, coming only behind that of Nintendo and Illumination’s animated Super Mario Bros. Movie, which made $146.3 million.
