Taking Halloween Ends as an example, it took 69 days after its theatrical release for the film to have a physical release on December 27, 2022. If Five Nights at Freddy's follows a similar timeline, it can be expected to hit Blu-ray and DVD shelves in late December or early January.

'Five Nights at Freddy's Trailers

Five Nights at Freddy’s has not one but three teasers released so far, two trailers and one inside look, on the official Universal Pictures YouTube channel.

The initial teaser showcases Mike Schmidt, the night security guard portrayed by Josh Hutcherson (known for his role in The Hunger Games). In dire need of employment, Mike accepts the job offer over the phone from a character played by Matthew Lillard (famous for his role in Scooby-Doo). He is informed that the job is at an abandoned amusement center and brings his younger sister, Piper Rubio, along on his first day. However, as he starts to grasp the full scope of his responsibilities, Mike realizes the gravity of his error in accepting the position.

The second trailer takes a different turn as a group of men forcefully break open the locks and uncover the shutters to enter the deserted arcade. They immediately begin to pilfer the quarter dispensers and ruthlessly destroy the pinball machines. However, it soon becomes evident that the creatures dwelling inside do not take kindly to the intruders and swiftly dispose of the troublemakers.
