Movie Theater Ceiling Collapses During 'Final Destination: Bloodlines' Screening
A movie theater ceiling collapsed at Cinema Ocho in La Plata, Argentina, during a screening of Final Destination: Bloodlines On May 19, Fiamma Villaverde was with her 11-year-old-daughter and a friend when the ceiling fell on top of her 'Imagine if they hit my daughter in the head?' she told InfobaeTheatergoers were in for an unfortunate surprise during a recent screening of supernatural horror film Final Destination: Bloodlines. On May 19, Fiamma Villaverde, 29, went to see the new movie at Cinema Ocho in La Plata, Argentina, with her 11-year-old-daughter and a friend, according to the Argentine news outlet Infobae. However, when she sat down to watch the sixth flick in the popular Final Destination franchise — which follows a group of people who die in a series of gruesome deaths after narrowly surviving a catastrophic event — a portion of the ceiling in the theater fell on top of her. Villaverde told the outlet that toward the end of the movie, she heard "a really loud noise" in the theater: "At first, we thought it was part of the movie, because we were so involved; but then a huge piece fell on me." Fortunately, the collapsed ceiling "didn't hit my head because I was leaning slightly over the armrest," she explained.

Villaverde asked for a refund for her ticket while waiting for an ambulance. She also said the theater manager asked her, "How do you want to fix this?" and she said she was going to "file a complaint." The patron then expressed concern for her daughter, saying, "Imagine if they hit my daughter in the head?" PEOPLE reached out to Cinema Ocho for additional information on Sunday, May 25, but did not immediately hear back. Villaverde, who sustained bruises after the ceiling fell on top of her, said she needed to get an X-ray at the hospital following incident. She added that she hasn't "been able to go to work for days." She noted that she was not initially planning on going to the movies that day — but decided to go to celebrate her birthday. "I have a hard time being in crowded places," the woman said. "I haven't been to the movies in years. I went because it was my birthday, and look what happened to me." Villaverde said she has gotten in touch with a lawyer. Final Destination: Bloodlines arrived in theaters on May 16. The movie was released 14 years after the previous installment in 2011. The flick follows Iris (Brec Bassinger) as she saves everyone dining at a high-rise restaurant after a premonition, which causes consequences for her descendants. Bloodlines broke the record for 'the oldest person ever on fire, on camera,' according to an Entertainment Weekly interview with director Zach Lipovsky, who said Yvette Ferguson, a 71-year-old former actress and stuntwoman, was brought out of retirement for the movie's opening scene.
