Despite a 76% drop in ticket sales, "Five Nights at Freddy's" remains at the top of the box office, earning $19.4 million in its second weekend. The horror film, based on a popular video game, has already become the highest-grossing horror film of the year, surpassing other releases like "The Nun II" and "Scream VI."
