Five Nights at Freddy's

On the data. Two films, and the thing most worth knowing is the relationship between them and the games. The films are a separate continuity. They are not an adaptation of the games' timeline, and they are not a screen version of the lore that players spent ten years assembling out of minigames, teasers and tie-in novels. What they are is an authored parallel: Scott Cawthon, who made the games, co-wrote the first film and wrote the second one alone. So this is the games' creator telling a different story with the same furniture, which is a different thing from either a faithful adaptation or an unlicensed rewrite. That catches people out in both directions. Some assume that because Cawthon wrote them the films must be game canon, and they are not. Others assume the films will confirm long running fan theories, and they cannot, because they establish their own canon instead. The first film invents a missing brother storyline for Mike Schmidt that has no counterpart in the games, and disguises William Afton as a career counsellor. The numbering does not track the games either. Five Nights at Freddy's 2 the film is not an adaptation of Five Nights at Freddy's 2 the game, which is a prequel set in 1987. No third film has been announced and no date exists on any release schedule. The second film ends on a setup and the lead actor has a three picture deal, so one is likely, but anything you see with a date attached is speculation. There is no official television series or short film. The fan film scene is unusually large and well made, and none of it is part of the franchise. One oddity about the first film's performance, since it gets described as a flop on the strength of its reviews: it took around three hundred million dollars worldwide and is Blumhouse's highest grossing film, and it did that while streaming free on Peacock on its opening day.
