The Mansion of Silent Strings is a 2027 American musical supernatural horror film written and directed by Gore Verbinski from a story by Scott Cawthon based on Five Nights at Freddy's characters. Produced by Blumhouse Productions and distributed by Universal pictures, it is the first installment in the Fazbear Music Box franchise. The film stars Isabelle Fuhrman in the main role, supported by Xochitl Gomez, Finn Wolfhard, Julian Dennison, Asher Angel, Ella Anderson, Mary-Louise Parker, Wes Bentley, Pedro Pascal, and Matthew Lillard reprising his role as William Afton. It follows a group of five teenagers who enter the old, haunted mansion of the Emily family, only to find themselves trapped inside by the supernatural entity who emerges from the house's music box once it stops playing. The Mansion of Silent Strings had its world premiere at the 84th Venice International Film Festival on October 1st, 2027, and was released theatrically on November 9th; the film received generally positive reviews from critics, audiences, and fans, who particularly lauded Fuhrman's performance, storyline, haunting atmosphere, scares, the dark tone, and Hans Zimmer's score. Lillard's return as Afton was also well-received. The opening scene of the film was particularly lauded as well, noting it for starting with an eerie music box playing and then suddenly stopping, only to start back up again. It was a financial success, grossing over $683 million worldwide at the box-office, making it the highest-grossing film by Blumhouse. A sequel is in development.
