Despite having experienced a 76% drop compared to the week of its debut on the billboard, “Five Nights at Freddy’s”the terrifying big-screen adaptation of a famous video game, led the weekend box office in the United States.
The film went from grossing 80 million in its first week to returning 19.4 million, however they are still very good numbers judging by the 20 million that its production consumed, according to the specialized site Variety.
Furthermore, this figure is already enough to rank as the highest-grossing horror film of the year, above “The Nun 2” and “M3GAN”which totaled 85 and 95 million, respectively.
The rest of the weekend box office in the United States
Second place went to “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour”the documentary of the pop star’s current tour, which added 13.5 million to a tally that, in his country alone, amounts to 165.9 million, consolidating it as the best concert film in history.
The film of Martin Scorsese “The Moon Killers” came in third place with 7 million, followed by “Priscilla”the biographical film of Priscilla Presley directed by Sofia Coppolawhich debuted with 5.1 million.
The Mexican film closes the top five of the weekend “Radical” which was surprising when it was intertwined in the conversation with 2.7 million, a high figure if one takes into account that it is a drama in the Spanish language, something not so common among box-office successes in the United States.
