However, this isn\u2019t just any movie franchise.<\/p>\n<p>The first film debuted in late 2023 and was an even more gargantuan hit than expected \u2013 the title premiered with $80 million in its domestic opening weekend in cinemas and was by far Blumhouse\u2019s biggest opening to date.  It ended its run with nearly $300 million in global revenue.<\/p>\n<p>It was seen as doubly impressive as the title debuted day-and-date simultaneously on streaming service Peacock, and to this day remains the biggest box-office opening weekend for a day-and-date release.<\/p>\n<p>That the sequel, which is exclusive to cinemas only this time, is tracking to debut with less than half of what the first film did is\u2026 not good.   Taking into account that first film potentially lost several million in ticket sales due to the same-day Peacock release, it\u2019s really not good.<\/p>\n<p>Blumhouse is coming off a brutal year at the box office with a string of flops and \u201cBlack Phone 2\u201d the sole success so far.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cZootopia 2\u201d is expected to rule the box-office again with a further $44-50 million, a 50-55% decline from its $98 million debut.  That film has hit $616.7 million worldwide in its first week of release. Tarantino\u2019s \u201cKill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair\u201d re-release is expected to earn $5-10 million.<\/p>\n<p>Previous article<a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkhorizons.com\/pc-gaming-hit-as-crucial-brand-to-end\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">PC Consumer Brand Crucial To Stop Sales<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Universal Pictures The \u201cFive Nights at Freddy\u2019s\u201d sequel opens in cinemas this Friday, the PG-13 horror sequel is&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":298296,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[94966,96,2839,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-298295","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-bigslider","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-movies","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom","13":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/298295","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=298295"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/298295\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/298296"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=298295"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=298295"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=298295"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
