The Five Nights at Freddy’s film franchise will continue with the upcoming Five Nights at Freddy’s 3, and a brand new writer has boarded the franchise for the next installment.

The Hollywood Reporter confirms the news that Gary Dauberman (IT, The Nun, Salem’s Lot, Until Dawn) will write the screenplay for Five Nights at Freddy’s 3.

The outlet also notes that Emma Tammi, who directed the first two Five Nights at Freddy’s movies, is expected to return to the director’s chair for the upcoming third installment.

Franchise creator Scott Cawthon will remain on board as a producer.

“It is unclear whether stars Josh Hutcherson, Piper Rubio and Elizabeth Lail, among others, will be returning but many are expected to,” The Hollywood Reporter notes in their report.

Last year’s smash hit sequel Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 scared up $238 million at the worldwide box office, so it was all but guaranteed that the franchise would continue.

Rumors had been swirling that David Robert Mitchell (It Follows) had been hired to write the next Five Nights at Freddy’s movie, with those rumors based on recent comments made by franchise star Skeet Ulrich. The actor misspoke at a recent event and mentioned that the writer of It Follows was writing FNAF 3, but Ulrich meant to say the writer of IT (Gary Dauberman).

Five Nights at Freddy’s 3 is coming soon from Blumhouse Atomic Monster and Universal.

Earlier this month, the new Scary Movie broke a franchise record with a $105 million worldwide opening weekend, and the horror-comedy spoof has now passed $200 million.

The current domestic total for Scary Movie as we head into another weekend is $100 million, while the worldwide box office total currently sits at a healthy $208 million.

With that $208 million added to the franchise’s previous box office office totals over the years, Deadline notes this week, the Scary Movie franchise has now hit $1 billion!

Here are the worldwide totals for all six movies in the franchise to date…

• Scary Movie ($278M)
• Scary Movie 2 ($141.2M)
• Scary Movie 3 ($220.6M)
• Scary Movie 4 ($178.2M)
• Scary Movie 5 ($78.3M)
• Scary Movie 6 ($208.5M)

Deadline also notes in their report, “The current Scary Movie is the first pure R-rated comedy (not a hybrid action or superhero genre movie) to cross $100M since 2017’s Girls Trip.”

The reported production budget for Paramount’s new Scary Movie was just $30 million, ensuring that the franchise’s sixth installment will be turning a healthy profit in theaters.

Scary Movie is currently 23% rotten on Rotten Tomatoes and film’s CinemaScore was a dismal C+, but the film is nevertheless proving itself to be review-proof at the box office.

Marlon Wayans (“Shorty”), Shawn Wayans (“Ray”), Anna Faris (“Cindy”), and Regina Hall (“Brenda”) reunite for the new Scary Movie, with the cast also including Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, Jon Abrahams, Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, Kim Wayans, Benny Zielke, Cameron Scott Roberts, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Ruby Snowber, Savannah Lee Nassif, Sydney Park, and Felissa Rose.

Twenty-six years after outrunning a suspiciously familiar masked killer (“Ghostface”), the Core Four are back in the killer’s crosshairs and no horror movie IP is safe…

Scary Movie will slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t. A whole lot has changed in the horror genre since the Wayans Brothers were in charge of the franchise; their involvement ended with Scary Movie 2 back in 2001!

Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) directed the new Scary Movie.
