FNAF 2 Hits Digital Just 18 Days After Successful Theatrical Debut. Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 is now available for digital rental and purchase, signaling a permanent shift in how studios balance theatrical windows with home streaming. Despite a strong performance at the box office, the sequel arrived on VOD (Video on Demand) platforms like Amazon Prime Video and Fandango At Home on December 23, which is less than three weeks after its December 5 premiere.
Digital rental is priced at $20.00, positioning it as a premium home-viewing option for families compared to the cost of theater tickets and concessions. While outright purchasing FNAF 2 digitally costs $24.99. Some theatrical websites are still selling the FNAF 2 popcorn buckets, like Cinemark, Regal, and Marcus Theatres.
Unlike many films that rush to digital after “bombing,” FNAF 2 is a certified hit, earning $202 million globally against a modest budget. While slightly under the original film’s $291 million haul, the rapid move to digital suggests studios are prioritizing immediate “fanbase hype” over traditional 45-day theatrical exclusivity.
