Warner Bros. has pulled off another box office coup with Final Destination: Bloodlines, the sixth entry in the long-running horror series. The film opened to $51 million in North America — a new record for the franchise — and matched that figure overseas, bringing its global tally to $102 million.
The studio is enjoying a horror hot streak, and Bloodlines adds fresh fuel. Directed by Adam Stein and Zach Lipovsky, the R-rated thriller reinvents the franchise by diving into family secrets and long-buried legacies. Kaitlyn Santa Juana stars as a young woman uncovering her grandmother’s mysterious history of surviving death itself — and the chilling fallout that follows. You can read our review here.
The return of Tony Todd adds a familiar face for longtime fans, while the film’s strong ensemble and inventive death scenes have earned both critical and audience approval. Heading into the weekend, tracking had it closer to $46 million. Instead, it surged past expectations.
This is the franchise’s first entry in over a decade. The previous installment, Final Destination 5, debuted to $18 million in 2011. The resurrection of the series — and the strong numbers — signal that demand for inventive horror with a built-in legacy remains potent.
Elsewhere, Warner Bros. continued its box office dominance. Ryan Coogler’s Sinners placed just behind Thunderbolts, raking in $15.4 million in its fifth week. The vampire drama has now topped $240 million domestically and sits at $316 million globally.
Marvel and Disney’s Thunderbolts held onto second place with $16.5 million. It has now crossed $300 million worldwide. A Minecraft Movie held steady in fourth, adding $5.8 million and pushing its global total past $925 million — the highest of the year so far.
Not everything hit the right note. Hurry Up Tomorrow, a moody music drama starring Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye, opened to a weak $3.3 million. Critics weren’t kind, and audiences gave it a lackluster C- CinemaScore. Tesfaye told Variety the film was “a personal journey into the darker corners of fame,” but that introspection didn’t translate at the box office.
