If you haven’t made it to the theater yet or just want to scream from the comfort of your own couch, get ready. In a surprise move, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 is officially heading to digital platforms tomorrow, December 23.
This release strategy is incredibly aggressive, landing just over two weeks after the film made its big screen debut. While shrinking theatrical windows have become more common, a turnaround this quick for a major franchise sequel is sure to turn heads. It suggests the studio is likely aiming to capture the holiday home-viewing audience right before Christmas.
Fans of the animatronic horror franchise can purchase or rent the movie starting tomorrow on major VOD platforms. Whether this impacts its box office legs remains to be seen, but for fans wanting a re-watch or those who prefer avoiding the theater crowds, the wait is practically over.
