Blumhouse movies have always stood tall in spite of their low-budget fares, consistently delivering spine-chilling Box-office hits that captivate audiences worldwide. As the curtains draw on the holiday weekend, the box office landscape reveals a surprising and record-breaking twist. Blumhouse’s stealthy horror sensation, “Five Nights at Freddy’s,” has clawed its way to the top, becoming the studio’s undisputed champion in the global box office arena.

Amidst the holiday weekend chaos dominated by Disney’s enchanting “Wish” and Ridley Scott’s epic “Napoleon,” it was the unassuming horror flick that stealthily ascended the ranks. Lionsgate’s “The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” managed an unexpected encore at the summit for a second consecutive weekend. However, the true revelation was Blumhouse’s “Five Nights at Freddy’s,” quietly securing its place in the top 10 again.
