Final Destination Bloodlines Shatters Box Office Records, Is a Franchise Revival!

by

As a die-hard film fan, I can’t contain my excitement about the incredible achievement of “Final Destination: Bloodlines” (2025). Directed by the talented duo Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein, this movie is the sixth installment in the chilling horror franchise. The series revolves around Death pursuing individuals who have cheated death through premonitions, only to meet their end in a series of imaginatively gruesome ways.

The release of “Final Destination: Bloodlines” kicked off with a bang, generating an impressive $102 million worldwide during its first weekend. Remarkably, it surpassed the total earnings of the 2003’s “Final Destination 2” in just three days. Needless to say, this movie is setting new standards for the franchise!

According to Variety, as of Sunday morning, the movie “Final Destination Bloodlines” is estimated to conclude its second weekend in cinemas with a total worldwide gross of $187 million, with $94.6 million earned domestically. This implies that it has surpassed the $150 million mark at the global box office by Friday, making it one of only seven 2025 releases to achieve this significant milestone, following “Snow White” ($204.9 million as of Friday), “Sinners” ($329 million), “Thunderbolts*” ($335.3 million), “Captain America: Brave New World” ($415.1 million), “A Minecraft Movie” ($934.3 million), and “Ne Zha 2” ($1.899 billion).

What This Means For Final Destination Bloodlines

It Is Close To A Major Franchise Record

Although the latest “Bloodlines” release experienced a significant decline in revenue by over 60%, which is typical for horror films but not for the initial three installments of the franchise, it’s steadily closing in on setting a significant record for the horror series. If it manages to exceed the $187.4 million earnings of the 2009 film, it will claim the title as the highest-grossing movie among all six films. Here’s an overview of the financial performance of previous “Final Destination” movies:

Title Domestic Debut Worldwide Box Office
Final Destination (2000) $10 million $112 million
Final Destination 2 (2003) $16 million $90.4 million
Final Destination 3 (2006) $19.2 million $112.8 million
The Final Destination (2009) $27.4 million $187.4 million
Final Destination 5 (2011) $18 million $155 million

Despite receiving exceptionally favorable reviews, as indicated by its Certified Fresh Rotten Tomatoes score of 92%, a typical horror movie dip couldn’t be avoided for Final Destination Bloodlines. However, competing against heavyweights like Lilo & Stitch and Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, which debuted during its second weekend over Memorial Day, might have played a role in this. Nevertheless, the film’s acclaimed reception from both critics and audiences could potentially enable it to sustain stronger audience interest throughout the following weeks, bridging the gap with the fourth installment and possibly surpassing it.

Our Take On The Final Destination Bloodlines Milestone

The Franchise Is Being Reinvigorated

The rapid approach of Final Destination Bloodlines to a record-breaking box office run within only 10 days indicates an unprecedented success for the series, implying that a potential Final Destination 7 is highly likely to be approved soon. This could potentially halt another lengthy pause in the franchise’s production and even foster a new, stronger branch of the series, with sequels being released frequently.
