What This Means For Final Destination Bloodlines
It Is Close To A Major Franchise Record
While theBloodlinesrelease couldn’t avoid a rough drop of more than 60% (which is common for the horror genre, but was not the case for the first three movies in the franchise), it is still well on its way toward breaking a major record for the horror series. If it can surpass the $187.4 million haul of the 2009 installment,it will become the highest-grossing of the six movies.

While the overwhelmingly positiveFinal Destination Bloodlinesreviewsthat earned it a Certified Fresh Rotten Tomatoes score of 92% (by far the best of the franchise) did not prevent it from having a common horror drop, the fact that bothLilo & StitchandMission: Impossible - The Final Reckoningdebuted during its sophomore weekend, providing huge blockbuster competition over Memorial Day, could have contributed to that.Its glowing reviews from both critics and audiences could help it maintain better audience holdover the coming weeks, helping it easily close the gap between itself and the fourth installment, and then some.
Our Take On The Final Destination Bloodlines Milestone
The Franchise Is Being Reinvigorated
The fact thatFinal Destination Bloodlinesis drawing close to an all-time record after just 10 days at the box office shows that the new installment is a success at a level that has not been seen before for the franchise. This means that thepossibleFinal Destination 7will almost certainly be greenlit before long, preventing the series from backsliding into another hiatus of more than a decade. In fact,it could result in a new branch of the franchise that is even more robustthan before, with sequels coming at a steady clip.
