Final Destination Bloodlines Looks Like a Hit With Over $100 Million Launch Weekend Box Office

Final Destination: Bloodlines has stormed the global box office, surpassing the $100 million mark during its opening weekend. The film raked in an impressive $51 million both domestically and internationally, totaling a remarkable $102 million. This marks the highest opening weekend ever for a Final Destination movie, setting the stage for Bloodlines to potentially become the franchise's top-earning film, surpassing The Final Destination's record of $186.1 million set back in 2009.

This success not only signifies a strong revival for the franchise, which has been on hiatus since 2011's Final Destination 5 (which grossed $157 million worldwide), but also demonstrates the enduring appeal of the series. IGN’s review of Final Destination: Bloodlines awarded it an 8/10, praising its blend of horror and comedy with the comment, "Final Destination: Bloodlines amps up the absurdity of Death’s design, and the resulting horror-comedy will have you dying laughing." For those who have seen the film, IGN offers a detailed explanation of the Final Destination: Bloodlines ending.

This places it in a strong position compared to Captain America: Brave New World, which concluded its run with $415 million globally.
