The Tri-Star/Spyglass Media entry follows a mysterious killer known as John Carver as he stalks Plymouth, Mass. and tries to make a bloody carving board of the locals. No leftovers this year.
And Five Nights at Freddy’s continued its box office blitz in its fourth weekend, pulling in more than $3 million from 2,800 domestic theaters, bringing its stateside running total to more than $132 million.
The film adaptation of the popular horror video game–directed by Emma Tammi from a screenplay she wrote with game creator Scott Cawthon and Seth Cuddeback–follows Mike Schmidt (Josh Hutcherson), a night security guard at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, as he battles animatronics gone wild as the sun goes down.
