President Golden Freddy is a 2021 American political drama film written, produced, and directed by Jon Avnet. It is a spin-off to the horror game franchise Five Nights at Freddy's and is based on its character Golden Freddy. The film stars Ben Affleck as the eponymous character alongside Jennifer Connelly, Paul Bettany, Chloe Bennett, Leonardo DiCaprio, Tyler Perry, Blake Lively, Joaquin Phoenix and Woody Harrelson. President Golden Freddy suffered a difficult production following Avnet's fallout with Warner Bros Pictures, and approaching Paramount Pictures on the distribution instead. The film was released to critical acclaim, with overwhelming praise aimed at the direction, screenplay, cinematography, musical score, the emotional weight of the story, its aesthetics, and Affleck's performance. It also grossed over $172 million worldwide and became a modest success, earning a strong cult following. Deemed "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant" in 2027, the film was selected by United States' Library of Congress for their National Film Registry.
