Final Destination: Bloodlines Smashes Box Office Records with $51M Opening Weekend Surprise!

by

As a devoted cinephile, I can’t help but notice that Warner Bros. continues to rule the box office with an iron fist. Their latest masterpiece, titled “…“, claimed the top spot this week, raking in an estimated $51 million domestically according to Box Office Mojo. Directed by the talented duo Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein, this film surpassed expectations during its three-day opening weekend in the U.S., proving once again that Warner Bros. knows how to deliver a hit!

In the realm of R-rated horror movies this decade, I’ve made a remarkable mark by breaking records as my global box office earnings have soared to an impressive $102 million just in my debut. Half of that sum comes from overseas audiences, while the other half is from the U.S. box office. Interestingly, I’ve outperformed previous openings within the Final Destination franchise and even surpassed another film’s opening weekend total. The Ryan Coogler-directed production featuring stars in it raked in $48 million during its first weekend at the box office.

Bloodlines Could Quickly Outpace the Original Final Destination

After earning $102 million, the movie “Bloodlines” now stands at position 116 on the global box office list for all-time horror films. Interestingly, another film released in 2000 managed to earn a total of $112 million throughout its entire cinema run.

Warner Bros.’ dominance at the box office persists with the release of Bloodlines, following the tremendous successes of films like A Minecraft Movie and Sinners, both of which have performed exceptionally well since their initial releases. To date, Sinners has grossed over $300 million globally, contributing to a grand total of $931.9 million at the worldwide box office.

In contrast to other films in the “Final Destination” series, the sixth installment, titled “Bloodlines,” stands out as it is currently rated “Certified Fresh” with an impressive 93% critic score and a commendable 89% audience score. On the other hand, the fifth “Final Destination” film, released in 2011, has a lower rating with a 63% critic score and a 53% audience score on a review aggregator.

Could Another Film be in the Works?

I’ve been eagerly awaiting the future of Bloodlines, given its current streak of success. To be honest, my curiosity was piqued after the fantastic ending of Final Destination 5. It left me feeling like they’d wrapped up the series in a very satisfying manner. This is what Lipovsky shared during an interview.

“Always More Scores to Settle”

Despite Bloodlines suggesting there were further tales to be shared, it seems the revival could pave the way for additional sequels. Stein hinted that they might struggle to devise fresh kill concepts for another film, expressing “Death’s work is never-ending; there are always more scores to settle.” He explained to The Direct that they have been dedicating the last three years to incorporating their best ideas into this movie, and currently, they don’t have a wealth of new, innovative ideas for the next installment.

Right now, you can catch ‘Final Destination: Bloodlines’ in cinemas. The film features Kaitlyn Santa Juana, Teo Briones, Rya Kihlstedt, Richard Harmon, Owen Patrick Joyner, Anna Lore, Alex Zahara, April Telek, Brec Bassinger, Max Lloyd-Jones, Tinpo Lee, and the late [actor’s name].
