Box Office: ‘Final Destination: Bloodlines’ Eyes Record $46M-$48M Opening

For three victories in a row, Warner Bros. has been raking in impressive earnings at the box office, largely due to the critically praised film “New Line’s Final Destination: Bloodlines.

On Friday, the supernatural horror-thriller movie dominated the box office with earnings of $20.8 million from 3,523 theaters, boosted by $5.5 million in Thursday previews. This puts its estimated opening weekend in the impressive range of $46 million to $48 million. Notably, this figure outperforms all previous franchise records. Moreover, it has managed to revive a dormant series that made its initial debut 25 years ago, as the most recent installment, Final Destination 5, was released in 2011 and opened with $18 million (unadjusted for inflation).

Under the approval of both critics and viewers alike, the movie “Bloodlines” is helmed by directors Adam Stein and Zach Lipovsky. Carrying an R rating,

Warners is dominating the upper reaches of the box office chart beyond just Bloodlines.

In its fifth weekend, Ryan Coogler’s hit film “Sinners” is closing in on Disney and Marvel’s “Thunderbolts”, which is projected to earn between $15 million and $16 million in its third weekend, placing it as the second highest earner. This would boost the superhero movie’s domestic total to over $150 million by Sunday, and push its global earnings past the $300 million mark.

As a devoted enthusiast, I can’t help but share the exciting potential earnings for “Sinners”. This blockbuster could rake in an astonishing $15 million for its creators, while amassing a staggering North American total of over $240 million!

The Minecraft Movie continues to thrive and is forecasted to place fourth, earning between $5.5 million and $6 million during its seventh week. This video game adaptation has been the highest-grossing film of the year so far, raking in over $900 million from worldwide box office sales.

As a gamer, I’m rounding off my top five picks with “The Accountant” from Amazon MGM Studios, featuring the talented Ben Affleck. This movie is predicted to make approximately $4.6 million in its fourth run, boosting its domestic total to almost $60 million, which is quite impressive!

The prospects for Lionsgate and Live Nation’s movie “Hurry Up Tomorrow,” a musical psychological thriller starring Abel Tesfaye, better known as The Weeknd as a troubled pop star, are not looking promising. This film, which shares the same name as his studio album, is projected to debut in sixth position with earnings between $3 million and $3.6 million.

In the movie titled “Hurry Up Tomorrow“, actors Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan share the screen. Unfortunately, this film has received harsh criticism from critics, with audiences not seeming to be overly fond of it either (the CinemaScore given was a C-). Directed by Trey Edward Shults, the story follows Tesfaye portraying a fictionalized version of himself or, more accurately, a musician on the brink of a mental breakdown. This character is drawn into a philosophical journey by an enigmatic figure.

In 62 different movie theaters specializing in independent films, A24’s movie titled “Friendship” is increasing its screenings. By the end of the week, it’s projected to make approximately $2.5 million, which translates to an impressive average earnings per theater of around $23,333 – the highest for all movies this weekend.
