Final Destination Franchise Dominates Streaming as Fans Anticipate Bloodlines Sequel

by

I can’t help but feel thrilled as a fan of the “Final Destination” franchise! This week, we’ve been buzzing about the upcoming sequel, “Final Destination: Bloodlines,” following the release of an electrifying teaser that has us all on the edge of our seats. But wait, there’s more – the entire series is now available for streaming and it’s been reigning supreme in the Top 10 charts since then! It’s a dream come true for us fans!

According to the current rankings, the “Final Destination” franchise dominates the Top 10 movie chart, with the initial 2000 film placed at the fourth spot, followed by “Final Destination 2” at sixth, “Final Destination 3” at ninth, and “Final Destination 5” at tenth. Noticeably missing is “The Final Destination,” but as the week unfolds, it’s likely to appear on the chart. It’s not surprising given that after a 14-year hiatus, horror enthusiasts are excitedly anticipating either watching the series for the first time or revisiting it before “Bloodlines” premieres in theaters on May 16.

In 2000, the initial “Final Destination” movie didn’t receive much praise from critics, boasting a mere 37% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The film features actors like Devon Sawa, Ali Larter, Tony Todd, and Sean William Scott, among others, and revolves around a group of teenagers who miraculously avoid an airplane crash but can’t escape Death for long. As Death eventually catches up with them in gruesome and inventive ways, the film became a hit among dedicated horror enthusiasts, spawning several sequels despite mixed reviews from critics. Made on a budget of $23 million, it went on to earn $112 million at the box office.

‘Final Destination: Bloodlines’ Aims To Put a Fresh Spin on the Franchise

The “Final Destination” series has long been entertaining in its unique way, but after a while, it felt like it was merely repeating the same pattern: Characters having visions of their demise, evading death, and ultimately succumbing to it. Some might argue that this repetition is what keeps it interesting, but honestly, how many times can one watch repeated deaths without finding oneself growing tired of it? In “Bloodlines”, however, it seems the series is aiming for something fresh. Judging by the synopsis, the movie could either feature two timeframes or open significantly earlier than the main narrative we’ll eventually follow.

In the 1960s, a grandmother foresees a building’s impending collapse and manages to rescue a group of people from certain doom. Fast forward to the present day, her granddaughter starts experiencing visions about the demise of her loved ones, gradually understanding that there appears to be a pattern or sequence at play.

Hello there! It’s reassuring that the directors, Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein, are maintaining a familial connection in their work. The sneak peek indicates they won’t shy away from graphic violence, and they’ve got plenty of imaginative methods to eliminate their numerous actors, including Kaitlyn Santa Juana, Teo Briones, Richard Harmon, and Brec Bassinger. Keep an eye out for Final Destination: Bloodlines, hitting cinemas nationwide on May 16. Catch the entire series streaming now on Max.
