– “Five Nights at Freddy’s 2” is set for theatrical release on December 5, 2025, while “M3GAN 2.0” is delayed to June 27, 2025, causing “The Black Phone 2” to be moved to October 17, 2025.
– The release changes are part of Blumhouse and Universal’s plans, which also scheduled “The Woman in the Yard” and “Drop” for March and April of the next year, respectively, while confirming director Emma Tammi for the “Five Nights at Freddy’s” sequel.
Anticipation is building as the official release date for “Five Nights at Freddy’s 2” has been locked in for December 5, 2025. Enthusiasts of the horror genre and gamblers on a nostalgic trip back to Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza can mark their calendars for the cinematic adaption of the wildly popular video game series. Universal Pictures and its consistent collaborator Blumhouse Productions have announced this date as part of their updated 2025 theatrical calendar, which is shaking things up with several keen adjustments and exciting inclusions to their roster of thrillers and horrors.
Among the reshuffles, “M3GAN 2.0”, a sequel to the earlier success in the killer AI genre, has had its premiere pushed back from May 16 to a summer release on June 27. However, this alteration has caused the follow-up to another chilling tale, “The Black Phone 2”, to be delayed until the run-up to Halloween, with its release now expected on October 17, 2025. The strategies behind these changes hint at careful orchestration to ensure each title gets the right exposure and an optimized chance to capture audiences’ attention.
As for new entries getting their spotlights announced, “The Woman in the Yard”, an original horror-thriller from Blumhouse, will terrify viewers on March 28, closely followed by the thriller “Drop” from Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse on April 22. It seems both companies are gearing up for a year filled with back-to-back jolts and suspense.
The upcoming cinematic iteration of “Five Nights at Freddy’s” follows in the heels of its predecessor, which, despite lukewarm reviews and a simultaneous Peacock streaming release, managed to snag the title of Blumhouse’s biggest opening ever with million at the box office. The unsettling charm of the animatronic horrors not only drew in a significant domestic audience but also captivated viewers worldwide, accumulating nearly a billion in global earnings and becoming the largest horror hit of the year.
Director Emma Tammi is slated to helm the sequel, lending her creative vision once again to the burgeoning franchise. Scott Cawthon, the mastermind creator of the original video game series, joins forces with renowned producer Jason Blum to bring to life the eerie ambiance and heart-racing suspense that fans crave.
While the horror genre recently faced some criticism due to a handful of disappointing box office performances, including Blumhouse’s reboot of “The Exorcist,” the appetite for well-executed terror seems far from diminished. Observers are cautious but not convinced of a deep-rooted issue within the genre, and the confidence of Blumhouse and Universal is reflected in their packed and diverse slate, showcasing a commitment to delivering scares and stories that continue to draw crowds and sway imaginations.
