"Final Destination Bloodlines Soars Past $100M in Opening Weekend"

Final Destination: Bloodlines is slashing its way to the top of the global box office charts, surpassing the $100 million mark during its opening weekend. With an even split of $51 million from domestic audiences and $51 million from international markets, the film has amassed an impressive total of $102 million globally. This marks the strongest opening weekend performance for any film in the Final Destination series.

The success of Final Destination: Bloodlines is a significant milestone, revitalizing a franchise that had been on hiatus since Final Destination 5 in 2011, which grossed $157 million worldwide. IGN's review of Bloodlines awarded it an 8/10, praising its blend of horror and comedy: "Final Destination: Bloodlines amps up the absurdity of Death’s design, and the resulting horror-comedy will have you dying laughing."
