We've seen some truly wild Final Destination death scenes over the years, as the reaper comes to call on those who manage to (at least temporarily) evade tragedy. It also turns out that after 14 years without a fix, moviegoers were hungry for more. Final Destination: Bloodlines exceeded expectations with a franchise-high $51 million opening weekend domestically amid the 2025 movie calendar — a performance that was matched in international markets.
It was a good weekend overall for Warner Bros., with Sinners and A Minecraft Movie still going strong, but the same can't be said for The Weeknd's Hurry Up Tomorrow, which underperformed to take sixth place. Take a look at the full Top 10 chart, as reported by The Numbers, and then we'll break it all down below.

Death may come for us all, but there's plenty of life still left in the Final Destination franchise a quarter-century after Devon Sawa and his buds first disembarked their plane ahead of its fiery crash. Final Destination: Bloodlines opened to $51 million in domestic ticket sales and, strangely, $51 million internationally as well to earn a total of $102 million around the globe in its first three days in theaters.
Given the fact that this film was made for just $50 million (before marketing costs), per Variety, and projected to earn about $40 million in its first three days, I'd say this is a big win for directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein.
Bloodlines' franchise-high opening easily beats the series' previous most successful chapter — the fourth movie, titled just The Final Destination — which opened in 2009 to $27.4 million in the U.S. and Canada before going on to earn a total of $66.5 million domestically and $187.4 million worldwide by the end of its theatrical run.
With its $51 million, the 2025 horror movie has already beaten the entire North American run of its predecessor, 2011's Final Destination 5, which brought in $18 million on opening weekend and $42.6 million domestically overall ($155 million worldwide).
Horror Fans Show Up For One Of Tony Todd's Final Roles
There were reasons to believe Final Destination: Bloodlines would see some success. In addition to being the only movie in the franchise to be Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, our own Eric Eisenberg wrote in CinemaBlend's review of Bloodlines that this is the movie he's been waiting to see for 14 years.
It's also likely that horror movie fans turned up to see one of Tony Todd's final roles. The actor — who often had foreboding warnings about death for the eventual victims as he portrayed the mysterious William Bludworth in several Final Destination movies — died in November 2024 at the age of 69. He is likely best known for his titular role in Candyman, one of the greatest horror movies of all time.
It will be intriguing to see how Final Destination: Bloodlines continues to perform at the box office, with some big titles on the way. The competition will be strong, but horror fans have been feasting this year, and this latest offering is getting some great word-of-mouth advertising from stunts like its 4DX 'Death Chair' experience and how it set a morbidly impressive Guinness World Record during filming.
Despite hopes of bringing in between $5 million and $7 million Friday through Sunday, Hurry Up Tomorrow earned just $3.3 million for an opening outside of the week's Top 5.
The film is a companion piece to The Weeknd's new album of the same name and stars the four-time Grammy winner as a fictionalized version of himself on the verge of a breakdown. It's at that point that he gets pulled into an existential odyssey by a mysterious fan (Jenna Ortega in a seriously twisted performance).
It looks like more bad news for the Wednesday star, whose March release, Death of a Unicorn, also failed to connect with audiences. Critics on Rotten Tomatoes panned Hurry Up Tomorrow to the tune of 13%; however, fans seemed to be much more in tune with The Weeknd's work, as the Popcornmeter had a rating of 70%.
Meanwhile, Thunderbolts* and Sinners held strong in the second and third positions of this week's earnings, finishing approximately $1 million away from each other, according to estimates. Michael B. Jordan's vampire flick even crossed a big milestone this week, surpassing $300 million worldwide for a grand total so far of $308.7 million, where it remains at the sixth-most successful movie of the year globally, right behind Thunderbolts*.
Domestically, Sinners sits in second place behind A Minecraft Movie as the top 2025 domestic offerings. They may not want to get too comfortable there, though. Next weekend sees both Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning and the Lilo & Stitch live-action remake hitting theaters.
Will this mean the beginning of the end for Jack Black's video game-based movie? Possibly, though I can see multiple upcoming family friendly movies having simultaneous success, especially in the summer months with kids out of school. We'll have to see.
Next week will also see Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd's Friendship getting its wide release. The new A24 flick managed to make an appearance on this week's chart despite being shown in just 60 theaters. As a fan of I Think You Should Leave, Detroiters and all things Paul Rudd, I'm excited to see how people respond to the gonzo levels of discomfort this movie surely brings.
We'll be back next week to break down everything that happens, so be sure to check back to CinemaBlend.

'Sinners' Sequel Rumored To Be In Development At WB
The 2025 new release Sinners was a major success in every way – financially, critically, and with moviegoers. Therefore, it may not be surprising to hear that a sequel to Sinners is rumored to be in development at Warner Bros. Ryan Coogler tackled the movie which placed a traditional vampire plot amidst the drama and tensions of two criminal brothers returning to their hometown in Mississippi in 1932. Michael B. Jordan played both of the brothers, a pair of twins, while other cast members included Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton, Jack O'Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller, and Delroy Lindo. While most of these characters met the kind of fate you'd expect to see in a vampire movie, there is certainly enough room for a follow-up, and that means the aforementioned sequel is a very real possibility. Although nothing is confirmed at this point, a listing on Production Weekly mentions Sinners 2 , suggesting that the film is in development. When considering the success of the film, however, and the many possibilities for expanding the story, it's a listing that does make sense. For those who've seen the film, they know that the movie features a post-credits scene where Michael B. Jordan's Stack and Hailee Steinfeld's Mary are both alive as vampires in 1992. A sequel could follow these characters in that time period, or any other moment in history between 1932 and now. Furthermore, some fans have even clamored for a prequel, one that could further track the spread of vampirism from Ireland to the southern United States. As of this writing, Sinners grossed $341 million worldwide with a $90 million budget. Its earnings led the film to become the seventh-highest-grossing film of 2025. When considering Sinners is an original IP, the accolades are even more impressive. Of course, we'll have to wait and see if a Sinners sequel even gets an official greenlight. For now, however, the possibility of such a follow-up seems high. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates regarding the possibility for Sinners 2 as we have them.

The History of Mojo Bags: ‘Sinners' Spiritual Exploration Inspires Fans Awakening
Source: Anadolu / Getty Ryan Coogler's latest film, Sinners , delves deep into the spiritual traditions of the African American South, bringing to light the rich history and significance of mojo bags within Hoodoo practices. Social media users are going crazy for this new spiritual enlightenment. Read more and check out these viral videos exploring mojo bags inside. Set in 1930s Mississippi, Sinners intertwines elements of horror, history, and spirituality to explore themes of survival, faith, and cultural heritage. One of the most impactful scenes that has inspired fans spiritual journeys is the moment when Annie asks if Smoke still had his 'mojo bag.' Annie's faith and love for Elijah was so powerful that she poured everything she had into his mojo bag when they first met 20 years ago, protecting him on his journey. Mojo bags, also known as gris-gris or conjure bags, are small pouches filled with a combination of herbs, roots, minerals, and personal items, believed to hold spiritual power. Originating from West and Central African traditions, these bags were brought to the United States by enslaved Africans and became integral to Hoodoo practices. They served various purposes, from protection and healing to attracting love or prosperity. In Sinners , the character Smoke, portrayed by Michael B. Jordan, carries a mojo bag given to him by his lover Annie, a Hoodoo practitioner, symbolizing his connection to ancestral wisdom and spiritual protection . The film's portrayal of mojo bags has resonated with audiences, sparking discussions on social media about their historical and cultural significance. One Instagram post describes the film itself as a 'modern-day mojo bag,' suggesting that Sinners serves as a vessel for spiritual enlightenment and cultural preservation. This metaphor highlights the film's role in educating viewers about the depth and resilience of African American spiritual practices. Coogler's meticulous attention to detail and commitment to authenticity are evident throughout the film. He collaborated with scholars like Yvonne Chireau, an expert in African American religious history, to ensure accurate representation of Hoodoo traditions. The film's narrative, combined with its evocative visuals and haunting soundtrack, immerses viewers in a world where the spiritual and physical realms intertwine. Sinners not only entertains but also educates, offering an exploration of a rich cultural heritage often overlooked in mainstream media. By highlighting the significance of mojo bags and Hoodoo practices, the film invites audiences to reflect on the enduring power of ancestral traditions and the importance of preserving them for future generations. As Sinners continues to captivate audiences, it stands as a testament to the resilience and depth of African American spirituality, reminding viewers of the profound connections between past and present, tradition and innovation.

James Gunn Debunks Superman Rumor About The Runtime While Offering Thrilling Update About The DC Flick
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. If there's one movie I'm looking forward to on the 2025 movie schedule more than any other, it has to be James Gunn's upcoming Superman. To be sure, I'm far from certain the movie is going to be great, but there's a lot of reason to believe it will be, and the potential for something really special is quite high. This makes it very exciting to learn that the movie, set for release in a little over a month, is very nearly done. In a post on Threads, James Gunn did what he does best: debunking the latest rumor regarding one of his films. In this case, it came from a fan asking about an official runtime for Superman, listed as two hours and two minutes. Gunn said the official runtime for the film hasn't been set yet, for the simple reason that the movie isn't actually finished. However, that day is very close as there are apparently only a couple of VFX shots remaining to finish. Gunn said… That is not correct. It's almost totally locked - meaning we're just finishing a couple VFX shots over the weekend - but that's not the running time. The runtime itself isn't particularly important. The movie will be as long as it needs to be. Given that we've seen more and more blockbusters with runtimes significantly higher than two hours, it's unlikely the movie will be edited down more than James Gunn wants. While there was a time when we might have seen a movie with broad appeal edited down for no reason beyond a desire to hit a certain runtime, that's less likely today. What's important is that Superman is literally days away from being completed. It doesn't change how many days I need to wait to see it, of course, but the fact that it's nearly done makes it feel like Superman is just a little bit closer. Max: Save Up To $41 On Annual PlansThe first part of James Gunn's new DCU, Creature Commandoes, is already available on Max, and there you can also watch every previous Superman movie to get ready for the new one. It's probably worth signing up for a year just to be able to watch all the DC content. Alternatively, its cheapest plan starts from $9.99 a month. I'd always recommend getting Max as a part of the bundle with Disney Plus and Hulu, though, starting from $16.99 a Deal Superman will make the big screen debut of the new DCU under James Gunn, and with numerous DC Comics characters other than the Man of Steel set to appear, the movie will certainly open up many different directions for a cinematic universe to go. When Iron Man first arrived, we didn't know what Marvel was planning, but with DC's new universe, we know what's happening, which makes Superman's arrival all the more exciting and important. Superman is going to be a big movie when it hits theaters in July. Whether it's a great film or a major box office hit remains to be seen, but success or failure, Superman is going to make a considerable impact. I can't wait to see which it is. How long I'm sitting in the theater is the least of my concerns.
