Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.

- Scott Cawthon scrapped the finished script in November even though director Chris Columbus and producer Jason Blum liked it, saying he had a different idea for the story that he liked better; it caused another delay of the film.
- Five Nights at Freddy's stayed at number one in its second weekend with $19 million, but its 76 percent drop from the opening weekend was one of the largest of all time.
