Disney’s 20th Century Studios has announced a deal to develop a movie based on 99 Nights in the Forest, one of the most popular games hosted on Roblox.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, 20th Century won the rights in a “competitive” dealmaking process, though no other potential bidders were divulged, nor was the fee that 20th Century paid disclosed.
99 Nights in the Forest is developed by Grandma’s Favourite Games and hosted on Roblox, and it ranks as one of the most popular games on the platform. The game was only just released in March 2025, and in that time, it’s had more than 25.9 billion visits, according to the game’s public stats. It had more than 174,000 concurrent players today, April 14, and peaked at 14.2 million players to rank No. 3 overall for peak concurrents.
