However, larger titles like Dog Man, Jurassic World Rebirth, and How to Train Your Dragon enjoyed extended theatrical windows of around 119-120 days.

Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 presents a unique case. It’s both a Blumhouse production and a major franchise release.This positions it within either the 91-day or 119/120-day window. Considering these factors, a digital release in early January 2026 appears most likely.

* 119-Day Window: A release around January 23, 2026.
* 120-Day Window: A release around January 24, 2026.
