SATURDAY AM: Universal/Blumhouse’s Five Nights at Freddy’s is meeting the expectations of all those crazy projections that were out there. Since yesterday midday when we saw $68M, the Emma Tammi directed feature take of the videogame, which is also co-written by the game’s creator Scott Cawthon is looking at $78M weekend.

Again, Blumhouse made this pic strictly for the fans, not older audiences, and that choice is paying off in spades, now with a CinemaScore of A-. How often do you see a horror movie get that type of grade? They’re typically Bs and Cs, and Freddy’s is in the neighborhood of Get Out (A-). Comscore/Screen Engine’s PostTrak improved to 77% positive and four stars.

The phenomenon that is Universal/Blumhouse’s Five Nights at Freddy’s is currently looking at a global opening of $130M. Fazbear and crew are playing in 64 international box office markets where they are expected to reach $52M through Sunday.

The worldwide number reps the biggest horror opening of the year and the biggest global debut ever for a Blumhouse title (ahead of Halloween’s $91.8M).

I have the feeling with the way that this movie ended...yes, there will definitely be a sequel.
