It's the classic chicken-and-egg scenario, but let's translate it into film terms. In this showdown, we're determining if the imitator outshines the originator. Unlike previous rip-off discussions, these upcoming contenders are nearly identical. One film, based on a best-selling video game, boasts a massive following and recently dominated Halloween weekend at the box office and on Peacock. The other, an indie gem, resurrects an old Hollywood A-Lister and has gained prominence through word of mouth, embodying a true Hollywood underdog story. Both films feature psychotic animatronics on a bloodthirsty rampage. Let's dive in and see which one emerges victorious.
