Despite a 76% drop in ticket sales, "Five Nights at Freddy's" remains at the top of the box office, earning $19.4 million in its second weekend. The horror film, based on a popular video game, has already become the highest-grossing horror film of the year, surpassing other releases like "The Nun II" and "Scream VI." The decline in ticket sales is attributed to the simultaneous release on the streaming service Peacock. Two new releases, "What Happens Later" and "The Marsh King's Daughter," failed to crack the top five. Overall, it was a quiet weekend at the box office, with one of the lowest-grossing weekends of the year.

The box office continues to suffer from the actors strike, with ticket sales dropping to the fourth-lowest of 2023. The absence of the highly anticipated film Dune: Part Two, which was postponed to March 2024, has resulted in a significant loss of revenue. Five Nights at Freddy's surpasses $100 million in domestic box office, but experiences a steep drop in its second weekend. Taylor Swift's concert film remains in the top two, while A24's Priscilla performs well in its expanded release. Radical, a Spanish-language film starring Eugenio Derbez, achieves strong numbers, and Meg Ryan's return to rom-com with What Happens Later has a modest opening. The Marsh King's Daughter struggles at the box office.
