After 14 years, the Final Destination series returned to theaters with this weekend’s Bloodlines, and audiences flocked to see some young adults perish.
Per Variety, the horror flick has earned $102 million worldwide, a new best for the series. That take is an even split (heh) of $51 million domestically and internationally. For reference, The Final Destination and Final Destination 5 opened to $28.3 and $18.4 million in their respective weekends without inflation. It’s good Bloodlines got a theatrrical release instead of opening on HBO Max, because its reception has been pretty high—critics were mixed or negative on earlier movies, but this one is the best-reviewed in the series. Audience reception has been just as strong, helped by some nostalgically terrifying marketing and the film offering a sendoff for series mainstay Tony Todd, who passed away in 2024.
Final Destination Bloodlines isn’t Warner Bros.’ only horror hit. Sinners continues to make money. Domestically, it’s made another $15.4 million in its fifth weekend, bringing its total to $240.8 million and $316 million worldwide. Part of that can be attributed to its recent return to IMAX after it took time off to accomodate for Thunderbolts*’ and Bloodlines taking its theaters. It’s still playing in the format Wednesday, May 21, so go see it while you can. Speaking of Thunderbolts*, the Marvel team-up flick upped its take to $155.4 million domestic and $325 million global. Right now, it’s on the low end of Marvel’s Phase Five films, ahead of The Marvels ($206.1 million) and behind Captain America: Brave New World ($415.1 million) and Ant-Man & the Wasp: Quantumania ($476.1 million).
Next weekend has Mission: Impossible—The Final Reckoning and the Lilo & Stitch remake. There’s a lot of momentum behind both going into Memorial Day, so expect them to post big numbers.
