Horror sequel “Final Destination: Bloodlines” tops the U.S. box office with a $51.6 million opening weekend

Horror Sequel ‘Final Destination: Bloodlines’ Leads U.S. Box Office with $51.6 Million Debut

In a thrilling opening weekend, “Final Destination: Bloodlines” has claimed the top spot at the U.S. box office, grossing an impressive $51.6 million. This latest installment in the long-standing horror franchise appears to captivate audiences once again, showing its enduring popularity.

According to Koimoi, “Final Destination: Bloodlines” is on track to become the second highest-grossing film in the franchise, falling just shy of a significant milestone by less than $3 million. This success indicates a strong reception from fans who have followed the series over its years of chilling narratives.

Despite fierce competition, the horror sequel managed to surpass “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” which held a firm grip on the box office with its own $51 million haul, as reported by Variety. The Tim Burton-directed film, a revival of the beloved classic, maintained its stronghold after securing top positions in previous weeks, according to The Hollywood Reporter and U.S. News & World Report.

Meanwhile, “Speak No Evil,” a new entry in the thriller genre, made its own mark with an $11 million opening weekend, showcasing its appeal among audiences craving suspense. However, not all releases fared as well; “Killer’s Game” significantly underperformed, failing to resonate with moviegoers.

Rotten Tomatoes notes that despite these varied performances, “Final Destination: Bloodlines” stands out this weekend, drawing horror aficionados to theaters and contributing to a strong opening that highlights the genre’s persistent popularity.

The dynamic competition at the box office this weekend underscores a vibrant lineup of films vying for audience attention, with horror and thriller offerings leading the charge. As the latest “Final Destination” installment thrills audiences, it continues to prove that well-loved franchises hold significant sway in the cinematic landscape.
