Final Destination: Bloodlines Slaughters The Box Office Competition, While Hurry Up Tomorrow Shows No Sense Of Urgency
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.

The Weeknd's Biggest Single Helps Him Reach A Special Milestone
Most musicians count themselves lucky to see even one album spend 100 weeks or more on the Billboard 200. That kind of lengthy stay is reserved for only the biggest collections and those supported by huge hit singles on streaming platforms for years after their release. A winner that manages a stay on the roster that rises into triple digits is still relatively uncommon, as most titles that make it to Billboard's ranking of the most consumed albums in the United States fall away after just a few frames. The Weeknd is one musician who has seen multiple titles hold on for months or years at a time, and he adds to his growing list of long-standing favorites again. After Hours Marks Another Major Career Milestone After Hours, the fourth full-length by The Weeknd, is one of his projects that's racked up a triple-digit-week stay on the Billboard 200, and it reaches another milestone this frame. The hugely popular set has now lived on the competitive roster for 200 weeks. It climbs seven spaces to No. 111 on the tally as it makes it to that special number. Luminate reports that throughout the United States in the most recent tracking week, After Hours moved 11,500 equivalent copies. Almost all of those came from streams of its many popular tunes. Third The Weeknd Album to Hit 200 Weeks After Hours is the fourth album by The Weeknd to make it to 200 weeks on the Billboard 200. His longest-charting success, Starboy, recently passed 400 frames, while Beauty Behind the Madness, the project that launched him to superstardom, is up to 356 turns on the tally. The Highlights, the compilation of singles he released around the time he performed around his Super Bowl halftime show, passed 200 weeks a relatively short time ago, and it's now at 211 stays. The Weeknd's Trilogy, a compilation gathering together his mixtapes House of Balloons, Thursday, and Echoes of Silence, is close to the special figure, as it has racked up 197 frames on the chart. After Hours Remains a Multi-Chart Smash After Hours lives on a trio of Billboard charts this week. As it climbs on the Billboard 200, it slips to No. 30 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums ranking and holds in eleventh place on the Top R&B Albums tally. The global blockbuster also reaches 200 frames on the R&B-only ranking, and in about a month, it will hit the same milestone on the ranking of the most consumed R&B, rap, or hip-hop projects in the U.S. Four The Weeknd Albums Chart Simultaneously The Weeknd fills four spaces on the Billboard 200 this week. After Hours sits above Beauty Behind the Madness at No. 132, but behind both Hurry Up Tomorrow and Starboy, which climb slightly this time around to Nos. 44 and 102, respectively. 'Blinding Lights' Fuels After Hours After Hours was released in March 2020, led by singles like 'Blinding Lights,' 'Save Your Tears,' and 'Heartless,' all of which became major hits worldwide. 'Blinding Lights' even broke Billboard records, spending 90 weeks on the Hot 100 and becoming the longest-charting song in that tally's history up to that point. That single's continued streaming popularity has helped After Hours remain a fixture on the Billboard 200 for years.

Warner Bros. Pictures scores another opening weekend win with horror film ‘Weapons'
It's August, and horror and humor came to play. In a month that's long been known to let edgier movies thrive, Zach Cregger's highly anticipated horror film 'Weapons' did not disappoint, topping the box office during its debut weekend with $42.5 million domestically from 3,202 theaters. It made $70 million internationally. The film's success also handed its distributor, Warner Bros. Pictures, the seventh No. 1 opening of the year, and became the studio's sixth film in a row to debut with over $40 million domestically. 'Freakier Friday,' Disney's chaotic sequel to the 2003 classic, 'Freaky Friday,' took the second spot during its premiere weekend, earning $29 million in 3,975 North American theaters. Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis return, this time for a double body-swapping between the mother-daughter duo and Lohan's teen daughter and soon-to-be stepdaughter. Viral marketing tactics, coupled with strong social media word-of-mouth, boded well for both films' success, said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for the data firm Comscore. 'The top two films could not be more different, and that's what makes this weekend so appealing for moviegoers,' Dergarabedian said. 'Both are perfectly tailored for their audiences to react in real time over the weekend to these films and then post on social media.' 'Weapons' transports audiences to the small town of Maybrook, where 17 kids up and leave their homes at 2:17 a.m., leaving bewildered parents in their wake. The town is left to navigate the lingering effects of trauma through horror, paranoia and a touch of existential humor. The film is Cregger's follow-up to his solo directorial debut with the 2022 genre-bending horror, 'Barbarian.' That critically-acclaimed film had a slower start and smaller budget, but still topped the charts during its premiere with $10 million domestically and made a splash in the genre. 'Weapons' generated a lot of buzz for its strong reviews (95% on Rotten Tomatoes). 'The internet's exploding right now between Friday and today. You just see that people are having a great time with it,' said Jeffrey Goldstein, president of global distribution for Warner Bros. 'It starts with an exceptional movie, an exceptional marketing campaign, and the date was exceptional too.' The success of the comedy-horror double premiere meant 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' surrendered its two-week run in the top spot and landed in the third position, bringing in $15.5 million domestically. The superhero movie enjoyed a strong $118 million debut, but stumbled in its second weekend. 'The Bad Guys 2,' which got a healthy start at the No. 2 spot during its premiere weekend, came in fourth place, earning $10.4 million domestically. 'The Naked Gun' had a similar fate, reaching the fifth position with $8.4 million in North American theaters. 'Jurassic World Rebirth,' which came in seventh this week, is expected to hit $800 million globally by Monday, according to NBC Universal, following a successful run in theaters. Warner Bros. started off slow this year, but made a comeback with the box-office hit, 'A Minecraft Movie,' which opened with $157 million domestically. Since then, movies like 'Sinners,' 'Superman' and now, 'Weapons,' have found success. The studio set 'a blueprint to how to create a perfect summer lineup,' Dergarabedian said. 'Weapons 'also joins a stream of successful horror movies this year, its opening numbers coming in just behind 'Final Destination: Bloodlines' and 'Sinners.'

Hacker becomes Bitcoin billionaire after silently draining 5,000 wallets from a ‘secure' mining pool
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. LuBian's weak encryption gave a hacker complete access to 127,000 Bitcoins without alert A gaming PC and time were all the hacker needed to breach crypto's 'safest' platform Over 5,000 wallets compromised and no alarms triggered as billions silently vanished What began as a silent infiltration into one of the world's largest cryptocurrency mining pools has now been confirmed as the biggest crypto theft in history. The LuBian mining pool, once a dominant force in the Bitcoin network, quietly lost over 127,000 Bitcoins in 2020. The breach was only uncovered in 2025 by Arkham Intelligence, revealing a staggering $14.5 billion worth of stolen assets that had remained untouched and undetected for half a decade. A historic breach hidden in plain sight The scale of this theft eclipses even the infamous Mt. Gox incidents of the early 2010s, as while Mt. Gox saw a higher number of Bitcoins disappear, the significantly lower value of Bitcoin at the time made the financial loss far smaller in comparison. By contrast, the LuBian hack, valued at around $3.5 billion when it occurred, has since ballooned to $14.5 billion due to the rise in Bitcoin prices. Despite the passage of time, the hacker has held onto all the stolen funds, with no signs of large-scale laundering or spending. Arkham's investigation suggests that the LuBian breach likely exploited a fundamental weakness in the platform's security architecture. Its private key generation reportedly relied on only 32 bits of entropy, a dangerously low standard by cryptographic norms, and which allowed the attacker to deploy brute-force attacks with nothing more than a gaming PC and patience. The implication is critical digital assets were being guarded with the digital equivalent of a paper lock. The hacker, who reportedly compromised over 5,000 wallets, used the vulnerability to access and siphon nearly all of LuBian's Bitcoin holdings. The mining pool itself disappeared from the network in 2021, only a few months after the theft. LuBian had once boasted of being the 'safest high-yielding mining pool,' a claim now overshadowed by its catastrophic collapse. This incident calls attention to the broader issue of cyber hygiene within crypto infrastructure. The use of comprehensive security suites, robust encryption methods, and advanced firewall protections should be non-negotiable - yet even among top-tier players, critical oversights remain alarmingly common. The lack of transparency around the breach until 2025 also raises questions about how many similar attacks may have gone unnoticed. The hacker has now been arrested, but the LuBian case is a reminder of the consequences of weak digital security. It also shows how easily identity theft and systemic failures can converge in the largely unregulated world of cryptocurrency.
