Final Destination: Bloodlines is getting ready for its digital debut, but before it lands on streaming platforms, the horror film is making headlines at the box office. Even in its fifth weekend, the movie is still going strong and is now very close to breaking a big record. It’s even about to beat a legendary thriller in terms of domestic earnings.
Strong Box Office Performance in North America
After more than a month in theaters, Final Destination: Bloodlines continues to perform well in North America. On its fifth three-day weekend, the film earned $3.9 million, showing a drop of just 39.5% compared to last Friday. This is quite impressive, especially since the movie lost around 729 screens in North America.
As of day 31 of its release, the film’s total domestic collection stands at $130.64 million. This strong hold at the box office proves that fans are still excited about the franchise, even after all these years.
Almost Beats The Silence of the Lambs
Final Destination 6: Bloodlines has come very close to beating the domestic box office record of one of the most iconic thrillers of all time—The Silence of the Lambs. The 1991 classic, starring Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster, earned $130.74 million during its North American run.
Now, Bloodlines is just a small step away from surpassing that number. Once the final numbers come in, it’s expected that Bloodlines will take the 18th spot on the list of highest-grossing horror films of all time in North America. According to box office tracking site The Numbers, this achievement could happen any moment now.
Worldwide Box Office Update
Outside North America, Final Destination: Bloodlines has also done very well. Its international collection has reached $141.1 million. When combined with its domestic total, the movie has earned a worldwide total of $271.74 million.
Considering that the movie was made on a reported budget of $50 million, this is a major success for the franchise. The solid performance shows that there’s still a strong fan base for this long-running horror series.
Digital Release Details
With its theatrical run slowing down and after losing several screens both in North America and overseas, the film’s creators decided not to wait any longer. Final Destination: Bloodlines will be released on digital platforms starting June 17. Viewers will be able to rent it or buy it as a PVOD (Premium Video On Demand).
This digital release will allow even more fans to enjoy the movie, especially those who missed it in theaters. It’s a smart move to keep the momentum going and expand the film’s reach.
Final Box Office Summary:
- North America: $130.6 million
- International: $141.1 million
- Worldwide Total: $271.7 million
Conclusion
Final Destination: Bloodlines has breathed new life into the horror franchise. With its impressive box office numbers and upcoming digital release, the film is proving that the Final Destination series still has a lot of power in the horror genre. And with its milestone of nearly overtaking The Silence of the Lambs, it’s clear this installment is one of the franchise’s most successful yet.
