Five Nights At Freddy’s 2’s “Even Bigger” Plan Teased By Villain Actor: “I’m Excited To See When They Greenlight [It]”

One cast member shares high hopes for the release of Five Nights at Freddy’s 2. While the horror movie sequel has not yet been officially greenlit, Five Nights at Freddy’s (which is adapted from the video game franchise of the same name) was a massive box office hit. Although it opened theatrically on the same day it began streaming on Peacock, it had the best opening weekend for a 2023 horror movie, earning $80 million on its way to a worldwide total that has already passed the $200 million milestone.

The Hollywood Reporter recently sat down for an interview with Five Nights at Freddy’s cast member Matthew Lillard. Lillard celebrated being able to talk about the movie now that the actors strike has acquired a tentative deal and reflected that Five Nights‘ day-and-date release on Peacock “certainly hurt the second weekend.” However, he said that he’s excited for them to “greenlight the second movie” and put a plan in place to “make it even bigger and even more successful.” Read his full quote below:

This is the first conversation I’ve had about the movie ever. We couldn’t do press the entire time. So, the idea that we’re sitting here having this conversation is amazing because that movie opened day-and-date with Peacock, which didn’t hurt the opening, but it certainly hurt the second weekend, and I’m sure it’s going to hurt this weekend. We weren’t able to support it. All those traditional avenues of publicity weren’t available to us. I’m excited to see when they greenlight the second movie, the plan we put together to make it even bigger and even more successful.

More to come…
