"Five Nights at Freddy's" Maintains No. 1 Box Office Spot Despite 78% Drop in Second Week, Ticket Sales Hit Annual Low Amid Actors' Strike

"Five Nights at Freddy's" continues to lead box office following its largest-ever five-day debut on Peacock, despite substantially decreased audience turnout due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA Strike.

Overview

  • "Five Nights at Freddy's," a horror film, continues to hold the No. 1 spot at the box office for the second week despite a 78% drop in ticket sales.
  • The film, which simultaneously streamed on Peacock, had the largest five-day debut on the service and broke the $100 million mark within eight days.
  • The total weekend box office amounted to $58.3 million, one of the lowest of the year due to the ongoing actors' strike.
  • Other notable films include "Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour," which ranked second and has already grossed over $200 million globally, and "Killers of The Flower Moon," currently third at the box office.
  • It is speculated that the lack of a major release due to the delay of "Dune: Part Two" amid the strike contributed significantly to the drop in box office earnings.
