‘Five Nights at Freddy’s’ director set for a huge windfall after only being paid 0.39% upfront of what the movie earned in its opening weekend

The wealth is set to be shared following its record-breaking debut.

Director and co-writer which is less than 0.39 percent of what Five Nights at Freddy’s earned following its day-and-date debut.

However, it’s claimed that she’s also set to be rewarded through a percentage of the profits, and seeing as the console-to-screen feature has recouped its production costs five times over and then some in a matter of days, that’s going to work out to a very pretty penny.

Critics certainly weren’t impressed by the worst video game release in seven years, but fans are over the moon with how FNaF turned out, while Tammi and Blumhouse are set to be rolling in the dough for their efforts.
