Box Office: Final Destination Bloodlines becomes 10th post-COVID horror film to cross USD 100M in US
That figure marked a respectable 38.8 percent drop from its previous Thursday and far surpassed The Final Destination (2009), which made USD 663K with a steeper 58.8 percent drop. With positive word of mouth and solid weekday holds, Bloodlines continues to outperform expectations and is now eyeing a final domestic run in the USD 125–135 million range.
The film is also set to overtake Alien: Romulus (USD 105.3M) to become the ninth-highest-grossing post-COVID horror release in the US and will soon enter the all-time Top 30 horror films domestically. Worldwide, Final Destination: Bloodlines has grossed USD 192.8 million, making it not only the highest-grossing entry in the series but also the best reviewed, receiving generally positive feedback from both fans and critics.
Directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein, Bloodlines is based on a story by Jon Watts and features a screenplay by Guy Busick and Lori Evans Taylor. Kaitlyn Santa Juana leads the cast as a college student haunted by visions of an avoided tragedy inherited from her grandmother. As death starts creeping eerily close to her family, she must unravel the mystery behind the premonition to change fate. The cast also includes Teo Briones, Richard Harmon, Owen Patrick Joyner, Anna Lore, Brec Bassinger, and franchise veteran Tony Todd.
Initially slated for a streaming release on HBO Max, Warner Bros. Pictures pivoted to a theatrical rollout following delays caused by the SAG-AFTRA strike. Filming wrapped in Vancouver in May 2024, and the movie greeted audiences in theaters on May 16.
Thanks to a compelling narrative, nostalgia appeal, and strong fan reception, Final Destination: Bloodlines has breathed new life into the franchise, letting horror enthusiasts hope for more sequels in the future.

Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Box Office Update: Anime starts international rollout with a bang; Grosses over USD 44 million in week one already
Demon Slayer Infinity Castle, directed by Haruo Sotozaki, is a Japanese dark animated action movie. It is based on the Infinity Castle arc of the 2016 - 20 manga series Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba by Koyoharu Gotouge. It is a direct sequel to the fourth season of the anime television series as well as its fourth, fifth, and sixth film adaptations, following Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - The Movie: Mugen Train (2020), Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - To the Swordsmith Village (2023), and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - To the Hashira Training (2024). Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Starts On A Raging Note In South East Asia After breaking initial records at the Japan box office, Demon Slayer Infinity Castle has begun its international rollout on a raging note. In its very first week, it has grossed over USD 44 million. It has had explosive debuts in South East Asia, outgrossing the previous best Mugen Train in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, in its very first weekend. The total collections of the movie at the worldwide box office stand at over USD 220 million. The Advance Bookings In Korea Are Insane; Will Propel The Movie To USD 75 Million Internationally Over The Weekend Korea is seeing some spectacular presales and it will propel the film to over USD 30 million this weekend at the international box office. By the end of the second weekend, the total international collections will stand at around USD 75 million, while the global collections will have gone past USD 250 million. We are on the brink of witnessing history. As more and more countries see the premiere of this anime, it will get closer and closer to Mugen Train's global gross. Despite being behind Mugen Train at the Japanese box office so far, it has a good chance to top it if the international markets really get on board for this one. The presales in North America are said to be fantastic and one must not be surprised if it grosses around USD 40 - 50 million over its very first weekend, there.

Coolie Extended Week 1 India Box Office Estimates: Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj's crime-drama grosses an average Rs 261 crore in 8 days
Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, and starring Rajinikanth, fell flat at the box office after its extended opening weekend at the India box office, where it shattered all existing Kollywood records. After packing an India weekend in the range of Rs 220 crore, the movie started falling freely, to a point where the day 8 estimated collections are Rs 5.50 crore. Coolie Adds Around Rs 5.50 Crore On Day 8, To End Extended Week 1 Grossing Rs 261 Crore Coolie 's total collections after its extended week 1 stand at Rs 261 crore, and a lifetime of Rs 300 crore seems almost impossible. With a good word of mouth, the movie could have broken past the Rs 400 crore India gross mark with ease, but that has not happened. Coolie has shown what mixed to negative word of mouth can do to your film. The Day Wise India Box Office Collection of Coolie is as follows: Day Gross Thursday Rs. 75.50 cr. Friday Rs. 63.00 cr. Saturday Rs. 46.25 cr. Sunday Rs. 40.50 cr. Monday Rs. 13.00 cr. Tuesday Rs. 10.00 cr. Wednesday Rs. 7.25 cr. Thursday Rs 5.50 cr. (est) Total Rs. 261 cr. gross in 8 days Coolie Looks To End Its Global Run Under Rs 500 Crore Worldwide The collections of Coolie from the overseas box office also leave a lot left to be desired. The movie, after a record opening of USD 8 million and an exceptional weekend of USD 16.75 million, looked set for a finish in the north of USD 25 million. But the frequent drops over the weekdays, have put, even a finish of USD 20 million in jeopardy. A film that was expected to be an all time record Kollywood grosser at the worldwide box office, will end as the 5th or 6th highest grossing film, only due to the word of mouth. Coolie should be a lesson for Kollywood filmmakers, about the extent to which their movie can be affected if it gets underwhelming word of mouth. If collections are seen standalone, a Tamil movie ending up doing over Rs 450 crore worldwide is no small feat. But when you realise that the distributors purchased the film for a ratio of Rs 600 crore, you realise that the movie has severely underperformed. Coolie In Theatres
