The highest-grossing horror film of 2023, its sequels plot hasn't been disclosed.
Shattering expectations in 2023 with a $300M worldwide gross, Five Night at Freddy's adapts Scott Cawthon's popular video game franchise of the same name and follows Mike (Josh Hutcherson), a troubled young man who reluctantly takes a job as a night security guard at an abandoned theme restaurant, Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria, hoping it will help him retain custody of his young sister.

The film was one of several items that were unveiled at the festival Sunday including a new trailer and poster for the upcoming sequel to The Black Phone. Blumhouse Founder and CEO Jason Blum took the stage in Mexico City to mark the company's 15th anniversary and unveil a slate of updates, exclusive footage and surprise reveals.

Lamine Yamal reveals Barcelona teammate's new nickname
Barcelona star Lamine Yamal has this weekend christened teammate Gavi with a new nickname. This comes owing to a striking new hairstyle adopted by the latter. Wide-man Lamine and midfielder Gavi are both enjoying their summer holidays at present, following the conclusion of a thoroughly successful season in 2024/25. Advertisement The two Spanish internationals played important roles in Hansi Flick's troops ultimately romping to a domestic treble, as well as coming within a whisker of a Champions League final berth. Afforded a month of rest ahead of their return to pre-season training next month, the duo late this week reunited to spend some time together. And it was during as much that Gavi showed off his new hairstyle. The 20-year-old has died his hair a head-turning blonde colour, a brand new look. And as alluded to above, this switch up has since culminated in a new nickname for Gavi, afforded to him by Lamine. After a photo of the pair was posted on social media, the 17-year-old responded with: Advertisement 'Eminemmmmm' Conor Laird – GSFN

‘M3GAN 2.0' reviews say the sequel is both too much and not enough
She's baaaaaack. Everyone's favorite viral dance craze-creating android goes from villain to (anti)hero in M3GAN 2.0, the follow-up to 2023's breakout horror hit. Once again produced by genre titans Jason Blum and James Wan, the sequel introduces a T-1000 to M3GAN's T-800 — a military-manufactured A.I. powered weapon named AMELIA. Other returning players include Alison Williams as M3GAN's maker, Gemma, and Violet McGraw as her niece, Cady. Director Gerard Johnstone is also back behind the camera for another round. More from Gold Derby Marge lives! Here are 3 other 'Simpsons' characters that returned from the grave - and 3 who stayed dead Fast cars vs. killer dolls: 'F1,' 'M3GAN 2.0' gear up for box-office showdown While the first M3GAN caught a pop culture wave, sequels to surprise successes can sometimes go astray. And the reviews for her upgrade suggest that going bigger didn't necessarily result in a movie that's necessarily better. M3GAN 2.0 currently has a 63 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes and registers at a middling 55 percent on Metacritic. Size definitely doesn't matter to Associated Press critic, Mark Kennedy. "Most of the same team that gave us the refreshing horror-comedy original two years ago have not only gone super-big, but also changed the franchise's genre," he writes, noting that the sequel goes the full-on action spectacle route. "[It] sometimes feels like the moviemakers just threw money at the sequel and tried to ape other franchises by going massive." Like many critics, David Rooney makes the Terminator 2 comparison explicit in his Hollywood Reporter writeup. "The humor is forced to compete with seriously overcomplicated plotting in a sequel that entangles its horror comedy roots with uninspired espionage elements, becoming a convoluted mishmash with shades of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Mission: Impossible and the Austin Powers franchise," he notes. Rooney's also not a big fan of AMELIA's moves. "Too often, the star attraction takes a back seat to the much less entertaining Amelia, an icy blonde killing machine like so many icy blonde killing machines before her, with none of M3GAN's sardonic wit." Representing the middle ground, Paste's Jesse Hassenger expresses more appreciation for the franchise's genre pivot. "It's a savvy move to introduce Amelia, a killer robot weaponizing the original Megan specs to serve as a potential tool of the military-industrial complex," he writes, praising the "ridiculous fun of seeing Megan suit up for a bunch of unlikely spy missions." But the too-muchness inevitably gets to him as well. "Even with a fair number of sci-fi ideas riffing lightly on mech-suits, neural implants, anti-tech crusading, and the capacity for artificial beings to grow and change, there is no reason for this particular lightweight movie to run two full hours." Still, there are those reviewers who don't regret taking the ride — including The Wrap's Michael Ordoña. "The new movie thankfully avoids pretty much every possible pitfall of a sequel, especially the usual fate of horror follow-ups being merely bigger and bloodier rehashes," he observes. "Of course, bigger isn't always better; but here, bigger is accompanied by different."

Dancing the night away in Cambridge, in a hue of red, white, and blue
Patriotic colors were everywhere, from painted stars and hopscotch squares on sidewalks, to striped banners draped over the facade of City Hall, to a brilliant light show on a warm summer night. Advertisement The party's theme, 'Revolutionary Reunion 250,' marked the city's contribution to the statewide MA250 celebrations. But at its heart, the party that started in 1996 in honor of the city's 150th anniversary, was a deeply local celebration of modern Cambridge. 'I like when people close streets, it makes me feel like it's ours,' said resident Ryan Gibeau, who teaches at Emerson College. 'To come out and dance at a place that feels like ours is pretty awesome.' 'I love the diversity, the different kinds of dances, the variance of [music] styles,' said Tao Harris, 48, of Hyde Park, who's attended the block party nearly every year since moving to the Boston area in 2004. 'There's nothing else like it.' Behind him, Spanish music streamed from storefront speakers, and the mobile act A Trike Called Quest led seniors from the Cambridge Senior Center in flamenco dancing. Advertisement The African American flag and the Black Lives Matter flag framed the DJ booth atop the front steps of City Hall, where DJs Overhead, a jumbotron flashed the crowd's favorite songs like a stadium scoreboard, 'There's no one demographic. Everybody's here,' Harris continued. The theme, he said, resonates because the vibrant mix of people 'represents what America should be, and in the sense that Cambridge is a historical city, it also works.' One resident noted the city's pioneering role in the LGBTQ+ movement. 'Cambridge was the first city to [ And indeed, among the red, white, and blue stars and stripes painted on pavement, crosswalks were proudly striped in the rainbow colors of the gay and bisexual Pride flags. Down Temple Street, a stretch of kid-friendly activities drew hundreds of children and parents under the warm afternoon sun. Chris Madson, a teacher with the Cambridge Public Schools who was attending with his second-grader, Jude, said, 'It's a summer tradition … everyone will be here, you see everyone in the neighborhood.' 'It's nice to see so many people show up with their kids,' said Sonia D'Souza of Somerville, there with her daughter Natalie, who just under 2-years-old. 'It's great for her to see the energy that the city brings. … It's a bit chaotic, but she's having fun,' D'Souza said, laughing. Advertisement Behind her, a child kicked a beach ball that narrowly missed a parent carrying a baby in a front harness. Around them, kids clambered over an inflatable, raced between plastic slides, and jumped to pop bubbles that glittered with rainbow hues. The main event, of course, was the dancing, with abandon, in the streets. 'The cliché is true,' Jeremy Phillips, 57, of Boston, said mid-dance. 'Joy is a form of resistance.'
