‘Five Nights at Freddy’s 2’ Tops $200 Million Worldwide, Hits PVOD 18 Days After Debut

Universal leans into a shortened release window to harness fan demand for the profitable sequel.

Overview

  • The film’s global total has climbed to about $202.7 million, including $109.3 million in North America and $93.4 million internationally after its third weekend.
  • Premium digital release began December 23 at a $19.99 48-hour rental price on major platforms, with the movie continuing to play in theaters.
  • Physical editions on 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD are scheduled for February 17, 2026, with bonus features covering cast interviews, animatronics, Mangle and the Marionette, and production design.
  • Despite poor critical reviews (around 16% on Rotten Tomatoes) and strong audience scores (around 85%), the sequel is highly profitable against a reported $36–50 million budget.
  • Jim Henson’s Creature Shop’s practical animatronics return and are spotlighted in new behind-the-scenes materials, and Peacock is the likely eventual streaming home though no date is announced.
