Final Destination: Bloodlines Trailer Breaks Records, Becomes #2 Most-Watched Horror Ever!

by

The second preview for “Final Destination: Bloodlines” attracted an unprecedented viewership, surpassing that of “28 Years Later” and potentially rivaling some of the biggest blockbusters from 2025. Directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein, “Final Destination: Bloodlines” is the sixth installment in the popular horror series famous for its gruesome deaths, where death seeks to reclaim those who have evaded it. Scheduled for release on May 15, 2025, “Final Destination: Bloodlines” promises to launch the summer movie season, and based on the trailer, it may prove to be a surprising success.

As reported by Deadline, the latest trailer for Final Destination: Bloodlines garnered an impressive 178.7 million views globally within a day, making it the second most-viewed horror trailer in that timeframe, trailing only New Line Cinema’s It from 2017, which set new records with 200 million views. Even when TikTok views are excluded, the second trailer for Final Destination: Bloodlines surpasses the previous record holder, 28 Years Later, whose teaser trailer in December 2024 generated 60.2 million views within 24 hours.

It’s quite intriguing that the trailer views for “Final Destination: Bloodlines” have surpassed those of “Lilo & Stitch” this month. The live-action reboot of the 2002 Disney animated classic, “Lilo & Stitch,” gathered an impressive 158 million views in just 24 hours, becoming Disney’s highest-performing live-action trailer, barring the photorealistic animated “The Lion King.” Even though this doesn’t guarantee that “Final Destination: Bloodlines” will be more successful than “Lilo & Stitch,” it certainly positions it as a summer blockbuster contender.

‘Final Destination: Bloodlines’ Could Be a Franchise Best in Terms of Box Office

On the very same day that the second preview for “The Final Destination” was released online, Fandango revealed their list of the most eagerly awaited movies of summer 2025, based on feedback from 3,500 cinema-goers they surveyed. Interestingly, “28 Years Later” came in at number 7, but “Final Destination: Bloodline” failed to crack the top 10. Despite the fact that trailer views don’t always equate to successful box office performances, the high viewership for “Final Destination: Bloodlines” suggests that audience demand is stronger than many anticipated.

14 years have passed since “Final Destination 5” graced the cinemas, marking a decade and a half since the initial franchise installment in 2000 – the original “Final Destination”. The longing for fans of this horror series is palpable, as many may not have recognized their fondness for the franchise until now. Notably, the biggest opening weekend and highest-grossing film in the series was “The Final Destination” from 2009, which raked in $27 million on its debut, accumulated a domestic total of $66 million, and a global tally of $187 million. Given the hype surrounding the trailer for “Final Destination: Bloodlines”, it seems the series might once again break box office records.
