Blumhouse Productions is a well-established name in the horror genre. Renowned for producing iconic franchises like Insidious, Halloween, The Purge, M3GAN, and others, the American company is collaborating with Striker Entertainment on the much-anticipated film adaptation of Five Nights at Freddy's. Now, a new report suggests that both companies are aiming to give the film a substantial runtime.
According to the reputable Twitter user Cryptic4KQual, known for sharing movie runtimes, the upcoming film will have a runtime of approximately three hours. Five Nights at Freddy's runtime has been updated to approximately 3 hours (APPROXIMATELY)
A few months ago on my alt i did say the movie had a pretty long runtime but this isn't final. https://twitter.com/Cryptic4KQual/status/1687125424453681153
With a three-hour runtime, Five Nights at Freddy's would join the ranks of films like Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer, Ari Aster's Beau Is Afraid, and Martin Scorsese's upcoming Western, Killers of the Flower Moon, rumored to span 3 hours and 26 minutes.
The reasoning behind Five Nights at Freddy's needing a three-hour runtime is a mystery to us, and it appears that many fans echo this sentiment based on their reactions (if you can pick up on the sarcasm). Even Andy Muschietti's It Chapter Two, which was 10 minutes shy of the three-hour mark, drew complaints from audiences about its lengthy runtime.
