Final Destination Bloodlines Breaks Global Box Office Records

The horror franchise "Final Destination" made a triumphant return with its sixth installment, "Final Destination: Bloodlines," which topped the box office with a $51 million domestic opening and an equal $51 million internationally, totaling a $102 million global debut. This marks the franchise's highest opening ever, surpassing previous records and setting a new standard for R-rated horror films this decade, aided by strong reviews and positive audience reception, including a rare B+ CinemaScore for the genre. The film's $50 million budget and robust earnings position it to become the highest-grossing entry in the series, with strong word of mouth suggesting continued success. "Final Destination: Bloodlines" also performed well internationally, including in India where it earned significant box office revenue despite competition from major releases like "Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning." Meanwhile, other new releases such as The Weeknd's "Hurry Up Tomorrow" struggled both critically and commercially, highlighting the challenges of new film ventures. Warner Bros. had a strong weekend overall, securing three of the top five spots at the box office, reinforcing the potential for franchise revivals in the evolving entertainment landscape.
