Final Destination Bloodlines record up to $48M openning
Directed by Adam Stein and Zach Lipovsky, the film follows Kaitlyn San Juana into a dark family secret. The cast includes Tony Todd, who recently passed away, marking his last film appearance.
The latest installment in the classic supernatural horror franchise topped Friday’s box office chart with $46 million to $48 million range from over three thousand theaters. This performance is considered strong, especially given that the previous film in the franchise, Final Destination 5, was released 14 years ago in 2011. That film opened with $18 million (not adjusted for inflation).
