2023's Five Nights and Freddy's wasn't exactly a big hit with critics (33% on Rotten Tomatoes), but it performed very well at the box office, and actually ended up emerging as Blumhouse's highest-grossing movie of all time.
This all-but guaranteed a sequel, and Five Nights at Freddy's 2 arrives in theaters today. Unfortunately, the movie has been getting even worse reviews than its predecessor.
With 59 verdicts counted, the horror sequel is sitting at just 12% on Rotten Tomatoes.
The movie does have a much higher audience score of 89%, however, and we can't see hardcore fans or those who enjoyed the first film being deterred by the negative reviews.
According to the latest box office estimates, FNAF 2 is aiming for a respectable $35 million to $40 million from 3,300 North American theaters this weekend.
