New 'Final Destination' film slays N.America box office
"Final Destination: Bloodlines," the latest installment in the horror franchise, made a grisly splash in North American theaters this weekend, taking in $51 million to debut in the top spot, industry estimates showed Sunday. "This is a sensational opening for the sixth episode of a horror series," said David A. Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research, adding that critics' reviews and audience scores were "excellent." The previous film in the franchise, "Final Destination 5," opened in 2011 to just $18 million. Kaitlyn Santa Juana stars in the Warner Bros. flick as a young woman who learns how her dying grandmother long ago cheated Death -- and she now has to deal with the shocking ramifications of that. In second for the Friday-through-Sunday period was last weekend's leader, Marvel superhero film "Thunderbolts" from Disney, at $16.5 million. The film about a motley bunch of antiheroes stars Florence Pugh and Sebastian Stan. Vampire thriller "Sinners" starring Michael B. Jordan in dual lead roles, claimed the third spot, taking in $15.4 million, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations estimated. "Bloodlines" and "Sinners" continued a recent string of successes for Warner Bros., on the heels of commercial flops "Mickey 17," "The Alto Knights" and "Joker: Folie a Deux," Variety noted. Yet another Warner film, "A Minecraft Movie," placed fourth, at $5.8 million. The live-action film, starring Jack Black and Jason Momoa, has pulled in $416.6 million domestically and $512 million internationally in seven weeks. And in fifth place, at just under $5 million, was Amazon MGM Studios' thriller "The Accountant 2," with Ben Affleck playing a neurodivergent math genius with criminal ties and Jon Bernthal as his hit-man brother.

'Thunderbolts' strikes big, topping North America box office
LOS ANGELES - New Marvel superhero film "Thunderbolts" triumphed over the North American box office this weekend, raking in an estimated $76-million in a promising start to the summer movie season, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations reported.

Comscore analyst Paul Dergarabedian said on X that "this kickoff film of the summer movie season will ignite an epic month of May for movie theatres!" Ryan Coogler's period vampire thriller "Sinners" starring Michael B.

It remains the top release of the year, with total US ticket sales of $398.2-million and international sales of $475-million for a total of $873.2-million. Fourth place went to Amazon MGM Studios' "The Accountant 2," at $9.5-million. Ben Affleck plays a neurodivergent math genius with criminal ties, and Jon Bernthal is his hitman brother. And in fifth was another video game adaptation, Sony's gory horror film "Until Dawn," at $3.8-million.

It took in just $25,000, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
