The film adaptation of the indie game Five Five Nights at Freddy's managed to earn the most money among other horror films in 2023.

Here's What We Know

Over the past weekend, the film grossed $3.3 million in the US, making it the first horror film to do so this year. Since its premiere on 25 October, the film has grossed just over $132 million in the US and $139 million worldwide. The total gross is $271 million.
