Matthew Benavides, vice president of marketing for Peacock, says the strategy for releasing “Five Nights at Freddy’s” in both theaters and on the streaming platform came down to one thing: no one uses Peacock, and even Peacock subscribers forget they subscribed to it.

Nation's parents surprised to discover they've actually been paying monthly for peacock anyways for 3 years "mostly by accident".

I wonder how many millions of dollars they made just from "people who signed up to watch The Office then completely forgot about it."

I did the same thing with Paramount and Strange New Worlds.

Also, if you haven’t seen it, it’s not too bad. Pretty good scary movie with some jump scares and a meandering plot. Kinda like the game.

The meandering plot really killed it for me. Felt like it was more drama than horror. The animatronic suits were really well done, though.

Jim Henson Creature Shop really knocked it out of the park with those

Yeah, when I found out who made them it made sense why they were so good. Best part of the movie.
