We’ve seen our fair share of terrible video game movie adaptations. From Mortal Kombat: Annihilation to the many Resident Evil movies, several movies have failed at the box office. As a result, people tend to cringe when they hear of their favorite titles arriving in theaters.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Sonic the Hedgehog recently turned the tide. Both received a majority of positive reviews from audiences and critics. Hopefully, the same will happen for the Five Nights at Freddy's (FNaF) Movie scheduled to come out on Oct. 27.
Several people wonder if the Five Nights at Freddy's Movie will be canon to the original game released in 2014.
Is the Five Nights at Freddy's Movie Canon to the Games?
According to Distractify, the FNaF movie isn’t canon to the video game franchise. The film will be an adaptation of the very first game of the series and will feature the same plot.
It’s impossible to make the movie entirely canon since there are several sequels, spin-offs, and novels of the FNaF world.
