Not all fandoms are created equal. Some are more passionate than others. And just like the GTA fandom is known for analyzing everything, even the sunscreens used by NPCs, others are known for the level of obsession they have for the franchise. The overwhelming love and interest they feel for everything related to their object of adoration.
The Five Nights At Freddy’s fandom is truly passionate. That’s why it’s no surprise that it has been an absolute box office success that has managed to break all kinds of records. Currently surpassing the 289 million mark with a budget of only 20, this adaptation of Scott Cawthon’s video game is destined to continue scaring us in the movie theaters. Or so says one of its actors.
According to Josh Hutcherson, in a conversation with Variety, the success of the movie has made it certain that there will be a sequel. Although it is true that the project has not yet been given the green light, he hopes it will happen soon, considering how the negotiations with the studio are going.
In the interview, they talked about more things, particularly highlighting the fact that Hutcherson finds the success of the movie surprising. He states that they expected to connect with audiences, but they never expected to do it in the way they have, something that has surprised not only him, but the whole team. But he has also highlighted how talented and fun it is to work with their director, Emma Tammi, whom he attributes a good part of this success to.
In any case, it seems that the sequel to Five Nights at Freddy’s will still be desired a little longer. It doesn’t even have the green light yet. But fans of the world, you can be happy: they know the power you represent and yes, the movie is on its way.
