Some computer files were stolen and security camera tapes identify the perpetrator as Jack Hyde, Ana 's former boss who was fired for sexual assault. Meanwhile, Ana is introduced to her new personal security team. Christian surprises Ana with a new house and has hired architect Gia Matteo to rebuild it. Ana is dismayed when Gia, an attractive young woman, openly flirts with Christian in Ana 's presence. Ana, jealous, privately threatens to dismiss Gia if she continues her flirtatious behavior, forcing her to stop. When Christian is away on a business trip, Ana disregards his wishes that she stay at home, and goes out for a drink with her friend, Kate Kavanagh. Kate, who is dating Christian 's younger brother, Elliot, confides to Ana that their relationship may be fizzling ; Elliot is working closely with Gia, the architect, and Kate is suspicious about their relationship. When Ana returns home, she encounters Jack Hyde, who attempts to kidnap her. Ana 's security team subdue him as he holds Ana hostage and he is arrested. After an argument with Christian about her having sneaked out to see Kate, Ana berates Christian for being overly controlling and possessive and demands more freedom. Soon after, Christian surprises Ana with a trip to Aspen, bringing along Kate, Elliot, Mia, and José. Christian and Ana continue with their erotic sexual experimentation, but matters become complicated when Ana announces she is pregnant. Christian is deeply disturbed, saying he had other plans for their early years together. He leaves, going on a night - long drunken bender. The next day, Ana discovers that Christian had recently contacted his ex-lover and former BDSM dominant, Elena Lincoln. Shortly after, Jack Hyde, released on a $500,000 bond, phones Ana demanding a ransom for Mia, Christian 's abducted sister. Hyde demands $5,000,000 in cash in two hours or Mia will be killed. He warns Ana to tell no one and to bring the money alone. Ana takes some cash and a revolver from the house safe, then goes to the bank to withdraw the full amount. The suspicious bank manager calls Christian. He thinks Ana is leaving him but then notices the coincidence of Hyde 's recent release and Ana 's sudden large cash withdrawal. Hyde instructs Ana to get into a car parked in the alley and to hand over her phone to the driver to discard. Ana tricks Hyde by taking the bank manager 's phone. She exits the back entrance to discover that the driver and Jack 's accomplice is her co-worker, Liz. Ana arrives at the drop - off site with the money. Hyde, psychotic and vengeful, attacks Ana, kicking her abdomen. Liz tries to stop Jack as Ana pulls out the revolver and shoots Hyde in the leg. Christian and his security team, who electronically tracked Ana 's cell phone, arrive and apprehend Hyde and Liz. Ana blacks out as she hears Christian 's voice. Ana awakens three days later in the hospital with Christian at her side. Though angry at Ana 's recklessness and still anxious about fatherhood, Christian realizes how important their baby is to her, and they reconcile. Christian 's adoptive mother, Grace, assures Christian that Ana will not leave him. Ana returns home the next day. Christian 's private investigator, Welch, reports that Christian and Hyde shared the same foster family. It is also learned that Hyde blackmailed Liz into being his accomplice. Christian and Ana later locate where Christian 's birth mother is buried ; they visit and Christian lays flowers on her grave. Two years later, Christian and Ana have a son called Teddy, and Ana is pregnant with their second child.

It made $5.6 million from Thursday night previews, down 2 % from the $5.7 million made by Fifty Shades Darker the previous year.

Critical response On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 11 % based on 134 reviews, and an average rating of 3.1 / 10. The website 's critical consensus reads, `` Fifty Shades Freed brings its titillating trilogy to a clumsy conclusion, making for a film franchise that adds up to a distinctly dissatisfying ménage à trois. '' On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 31 out of 100 based on 41 critics, indicating `` generally unfavorable reviews. '' Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of `` B + '' on an A+ to F scale, the same score earned by Darker, while comScore reported that 56 % of females ( who made up 81 % of the opening weekend ) gave the film a `` definite recommend ''. Writing for Variety, Guy Lodge was critical of the film, saying `` Indeed, a sex - free, PG - 13 version of Freed could be cut without shedding a second of narrative coherence, such as it is ; one could ask what the point of that would be, though similar queries might be leveled at the film as it stands. '' Rolling Stone 's Peter Travers gave the film zero out of four, stating `` With this last entry, we have officially hit the bottom of the barrel. Whips, chains, butt plugs and nipple clips are nothing compared to the sheer torture of watching this movie. '' Robbie Collin from The Telegraph gave the film one out of five stars, and wrote `` This is a film in which one of the more emotionally detailed performances is given by a product - placement Audi. '' Jeannette Catsoulis, writing for The New York Times, found the film to be significantly inferior to Kim Basinger 's 91⁄2 Weeks, stating : `` Layering a damp - squib thriller subplot beneath what appears to be an ad campaign for the one - percent lifestyle, the returning director and screenwriter test the newly married couple with an inconvenient pregnancy and an unconvincing car chase. There 's an out - of - left - field abduction and a marital tiff over email addresses ; but these narrative fragments, lazily tossed together alongside a neglected supporting cast, are no more than a flimsy causeway connecting bonking sessions. '' Conversely, IndieWire reviewer Manuela Lazic gave the film three out of four stars, saying `` Finally, the Fifty Shades phenomenon has yielded a disarming comedy that makes this ridiculous material fun to watch.
