  2. The Final Destination ($27.4 million)
  3. Final Destination 3 ($19.2 million)
  4. Final Destination 5 ($18 million)
  5. Final Destination 2 ($16 million)
  6. Final Destination ($10 million)

As a devoted cinephile, I can’t help but share my excitement about the global success of “Final Destination: Bloodlines”. This latest chapter in the chilling saga earned an astonishing $102 million worldwide, with $51 million from overseas box office. That’s quite a feat, considering it was made on a budget of just $50 million!

Notably, this success story continues Warner Bros. Pictures’ streak of hits, as they distributed not only “Final Destination: Bloodlines”, but also “A Minecraft Movie” and “Sinners”. It’s truly a testament to their knack for choosing winning productions that resonate with audiences worldwide.

Crowds flooded cinemas during the weekend to catch the grisly spectacle presented in “Final Destination: Bloodlines,” causing the horror movie to surge in popularity following its debut. Consequently, “Bloodlines” has quickly earned a “Verified Hot” status on the Rotten Tomatoes Popcornmeter with an impressive 89% rating and a bold “B+” CinemaScore. Interestingly, even critics were drawn to the movie by its appeal.

‘Final Destination Bloodlines’ Kills With Critics and Fans Alike

Last week’s box office leader, *Thunderbolts*, was dethroned this weekend by Final Destination Bloodlines, mainly due to its enthusiastic fanbase that made the horror film a significant financial success. Critics were also captivated by the movie, resulting in a record-breaking Rotten Tomatoes score for the Final Destination series with a “Certified Fresh” 93% on the RT Tomatometer. Here are the ratings to see where this latest installment stands in the rankings of all time.

Final Destination Franchise: Best Rotten Tomatoes Scores (Tomatometer)

  1. Final Destination Bloodlines (93%)
  2. Final Destination 5 (62%)
  3. Final Destination 2 (52%)
  4. Final Destination 3 (44%)
  5. Final Destination (40%)
  6. The Final Destination (28%)

Over the course of the weekend, it was clear that “Final Destination Bloodlines” dominated the scene, claiming the top spot. Meanwhile, Marvel’s exhilarating “Thunderbolts” held strong, earning the No. 2 position with a robust $16.5 million, pushing its domestic total to an impressive $155.4 million and its global take to a staggering $325.7 million after three weekends in theaters. The captivating collaboration between Michael B. Jordan and Ryan Coogler, “Sinners,” maintained its momentum, snagging the No. 3 spot with another $15.4 million. Lastly, the much-anticipated “A Minecraft Movie” found itself at No. 4, earning $5.9 million over the weekend. However, the star-studded film featuring Jason Momoa and Jack Black is gradually losing momentum as it strives to surpass the billion-dollar mark at the worldwide box office.

A “Minecraft” film has raked in an impressive $925.8 million worldwide, but it seems highly unlikely that it will surpass the $1 billion mark at this point. On the other hand, “The Accountant 2,” starring Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal, finished in the Top 5 with earnings of $4.9 million. In addition, A24’s film “Friendship,” described as both deranged and delightful, expanded its theater count by over 50 locations. Regrettably, despite boasting the weekend’s highest per-theater average ($23,338), Paul Rudd’s latest comedy fell just short of entering the Top 5 at No. 7 with earnings of $1.4 million. Lastly, Lionsgate’s new release “Hurry Up Tomorrow” managed to secure No. 6 with a relatively modest debut of only $3.3 million.

On May 23rd next year, the movies Lilo & Stitch and Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning will be gracing the 2025 box office. These films are set to rake in a fortune during the Memorial Day weekend, potentially making it the most profitable weekend of the summer movie season so far. Lilo & Stitch aims to earn approximately $120 million over four days, while Tom Cruise’s latest installment as Ethan Hunt from IMF could also pocket an impressive $100 million itself.
