Box Office: Final Destination Bloodlines becomes 10th post-COVID horror film to cross USD 100M in US
Final Destination: Bloodlines has achieved a milestone it had long awaited. The sixth installment in the long-running supernatural horror franchise surpassed the USD 100 million mark at the domestic box office on Thursday, becoming only the 10th post-COVID horror film to do so. The movie amassed USD 100.9 million in the US by the end of its second full week in theaters, with a strong USD 1.9 million second Thursday, the biggest second Thursday ever for the Final Destination franchise. 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.

'Just hot people getting killed!' Charli XCX 's puts herself forward to produce Final Destination
If you thought Final Destination was just about gruesome deaths and wild set pieces, Charli XCX is here to shake things up. The Grammy-winning pop sensation recently revealed her vision for the next chapter in the cult horror series and it's exactly what you'd expect from a self-proclaimed horror fan with an ear for pop culture. In a recent TikTok video, the Grammy-winning singer shared her enthusiasm for the Final Destination franchise ahead of the release of its latest installment, Bloodlines. She explained why the series has remained a favourite: 'It's about attractive people being killed off. There's no moralising, no deeper message. They're cursed and they deserve to die.' Her idea? To inject the series with a fresh twist by casting a group of 'It Girls', including Rachel Sennott, Alex Consani, Gabbriette, Romy Mars and Charli herself, alongside scream queen Jenna Ortega and original horror icon Sissy Spacek. Charli said: 'I think a Final Destination with this kind of cast would stay true to the franchise's formula, which plays with its own lore. It's not trying to do anything new other than have hot people die in brutal ways, with some sharp dialogue.' The Final Destination films, known for their inventive and often elaborate death sequences, have been a staple of supernatural horror since the first movie in 2000. The latest release, Bloodlines, performed strongly at the box office, achieving a franchise-best domestic opening of $51.7 million. Rachel Sennott, known for her recent breakout roles, appeared keen on the concept, responding in the comments of Charli's video with 'Ok, I'm in.' The proposal to cast a lineup of stylish young women alongside scream queens represents an intriguing evolution for the series, blending glamour and horror. Bringing in Sissy Spacek, famous for her role in Carrie, would serve as a fitting nod to horror history, bridging generations. Charli also suggested the film be directed by a horror auteur capable of balancing style and scares, ensuring the franchise's trademark inventive deaths remain front and centre. While no official project has been announced, Charli's pitch highlights a growing trend to combine fashion and genre filmmaking, and the popularity of horror among younger audiences. Whether this vision will come to fruition remains uncertain. For now, it offers a tantalising glimpse of what could be a stylish, high-profile new chapter for the Final Destination franchise.

Final Destination Bloodlines Box Office: Inches closer 50cr NETT in India with strong 2nd week
Final Destination: Bloodlines grossed Rs. 19 crore (USD 2.20 million) approx in its second week in India. The week-on-week drop was less than 45 per cent, which is a fantastic hold for a Hollywood film in India, particularly for a horror film, which tends to be frontloaded. The second week collections of the film are higher than bigger Hollywood releases like Thor: Love and Thunder, Jurassic World: Dominion, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and so on. The total box office collections for Bloodlines in India after two weeks stand at Rs. 58.50 crore (USD 6.85 million). The NETT collections are just shy of Rs. 50 crore mark, at Rs. 47.75 crore, which it shall surpass tomorrow. Only one other Hollywood Horror film has collected more than Rs. 50 crore NETT in India, Bloodlines will be the second. Bloodlines had the tough task of competing directly with Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning. There were concerns that despite a good start, it may get overshadowed by the competition, but the film has held its ground remarkably well. In the first weekend, its collections were 40 per cent of The Final Reckoning, but by the end of the second week, it had significantly narrowed the gap, with yesterday being 75 per cent. If this trend continues, Bloodlines may even surpass Final Reckoning in daily collections during the third or fourth week. Notably, Mission: Impossible is one of the biggest Hollywood franchises in India, while no Final Destination film had ever crossed Rs. 10 crore in India until Bloodlines. While the franchise enjoyed strong recognition in India, that hadn't translated to box office success in the past due to a more limited market for Hollywood films back then. Times have changed, and finally, the franchise has found its due success. For Bloodlines, India is amongst the top markets globally, standing just behind the United Kingdom and Mexico, ahead of other major Hollywood markets. In terms of tickets sold, it is neck-and-neck with Mexico, it will eventually finish as a close second. The Box Office Collections of Final Destination: Bloodlines in India are as follows:

Box Office: Final Destination Bloodlines scores franchise-best USD 2.1M on 2nd Wednesday, nears USD 100M domestically
Final Destination: Bloodlines is racing toward a significant box office milestone. On its second Wednesday, the R-rated supernatural horror sequel earned a solid USD 2.1 million at the US box office, a franchise record for a second Wednesday. The figure marks a 48.8 percent drop from its opening Wednesday but comfortably beats 2009's The Final Destination, which took in USD 722K on its second Wednesday with a steeper 57 percent drop. With a cumulative domestic total of USD 99.1 million, Bloodlines is poised to cross the coveted USD 100 million within hours. That will make it just the tenth horror film released in the post-COVID era to hit that milestone at the US box office. The weekend should push it even further, past Alien: Romulus (USD 105.3M), making it the ninth-highest-grossing post-pandemic horror film domestically. Additionally, the film is set to enter the all-time top 30 horror earners in the US. Final Destination: Bloodlines is the sixth entry in the long-running horror franchise and is its most successful to date. Directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein, and written by Guy Busick and Lori Evans Taylor, the film introduces a fresh take on the franchise while honoring its legacy. Kaitlyn Santa Juana leads the cast as a college student who inherits haunting premonitions tied to a near disaster from 1968 through her dying grandmother. As death comes seeking her family, a new deadly chain of events unfolds. The film's supporting cast is rounded out by Teo Briones, Richard Harmon, Owen Patrick Joyner, Anna Lore, Brec Bassinger, and horror veteran Tony Todd. Originally conceived as a streaming property for HBO Max, Warner Bros. Pictures shifted gears and opted for a theatrical rollout, and the move seems to be paying off well. After delays due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strikes, production took place in Vancouver between March and May 2024. Released stateside on May 16, Final Destination: Bloodlines has earned widespread acclaim for both rebooting and continuing the cult franchise with its clever twists, suspenseful sequences, and emotional core. Globally, the film has grossed an impressive USD 190.9 million, making it not only the best-reviewed but also the highest-grossing entry in the series to date. With a projected domestic run of USD 125–135 million, Bloodlines has firmly reestablished Final Destination as one of horror's most bankable franchises, proving that the cheating death trope, only to pay for it later, still has a lot of life left in it.
