Coola_Yagami and I are planning to see it opening night! At the theater here, no kids are allowed in past 7:30.

I’m going Friday night myself with a few peeps

The reviews are coming in, and it seems the critics didn't like it, Because it has too much plot, Mind you they hated the Super Mario Bros movie for not having any plot.

Exactly, I like to make up my own mind with regards to movies

[TigerClaw]

Pffff it's not the same. Something that's been this long time coming should be seen in theaters.

I wonder what's the logic between releasing it in Peacock at the same time. Won't that cut into ticket sales with all the lazy cybercubes in the world?

Also unless the critics lived through the fnaf craze, they just wouldn't get it. This movie isn't for them.

BOX OFFICE: We have a surprise hit in the making! #FiveNightsAtFreddys posted $10.3M in Thursday night previews. That means..
- It's higher than both HALLOWEEN KILLS and HALLOWEEN ENDS previews (both day-and-date w/ Peacock)
- It's just below OPPENHEIMER preview numbers ($10.5M)
- It needs $44.4M to top SCREAM VI for the year's highest opening for a horror movie

[Coola Yagami]

Absolutely loved the movie, this one was definitely more for the fans than the casual but sometimes we need that.

The theater was packed with fnaf fans and people in costumes cause of Halloween and we all cheered and whatnot at all the references. We even got into convos with em after the movie. Then we grabbed some pizza on the way home. It just made for a fun and perfect evening that just couldn't happen if we just watched it on Peacock.

I never heard of this and know nothing of the lore and went with some family to see this today, and it is a very good movie. And Hutchison is really a good actor, I also liked the girl, Vanessa.

There are a ton of FNAF videos explaining the lore of all the games.

[TigerClaw]

For anyone that saw the movie.

[TheCanadiandrome]

It was actually good. As someone with no history with the franchise I enjoyed it

[Andrew NDB]

It was decent enough. A little bit... Puppet Master 2 in a lot of ways. They got away with enough at PG-13 that I wasn't too miffed, given there isn't a lot of need for R in what there is here. I think they could remove the woman cop character entirely and we'd basically have the same movie, yet a little creepier.

I guess they needed an extra human character to explain things, and the series doesn't have all that many to work with. I wasn't expecting Vanessa from Security Breach in a movie based around the early games.

One thing though is the movie might have needed more throwaway characters to get killed. The animatronics really went to town on their victims, they just needed some more lol.

The movie did a good job keeping the violence at the same level of the games, which despite everything were never too bloody.

[Coola Yagami]

Oh also Andrew, can you keep tabs on the box office?

[TigerClaw]

It has made 78 million domestically, and 130 million globally.

Holy crap, that's awesome! And we're not even at Sunday night yet!

[The Deadman]

Watched this, this morning, and it's not that great. I found myself falling asleep at times, that's how boring it was. I might give it another shot later on down the road, but as of now it's basically a "one and done" type of horror movie.
