Who knew the sixth Final Destination would be such a massive hit? With Bloodlines dropping this past weekend, we saw the long-running horror franchise hit new heights.
With the fourth-best opening of the year so far and one of the top ten overall best horror openings ever, Final Destination: Bloodlines sits nicely at the top of the box office this weekend with $51 million. It would see another $51 million from the overseas marketing, launching the gory good time too a global opening of around $102 million.
Given its $40 million budget and its break-even point of about $100 million, it’s already a bit of a hit for Warner Bros. Bloodlines is easily the best opening for the franchise, with 2009’s The Final Destination being the best opening up to this point with just $27 million. Could we see a new franchise best when it’s all said and done, as the best entry so far has been the 2009 film, bringing in roughly $187 million.
