Blogger’s Update (05/14): Two days before its premiere, I am doing an upgrade to my prediction from $35.2 million to $42.2 million
A quarter century after the original kicked off a fresh horror franchise, Final Destination Bloodlines logs into multiplexes on May 16th. The sixth Destination and first in nearly 14 years is co-directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein. Kaitlyn Santa Juana, Teo Briones, Richard Harmon, Owen Patrick Joyner, Anna Lore, Brec Bassinger, and the late Tony Todd make up the cast.
Warner Bros (hot off blockbusters A Minecraft Movie and Sinners) could have another success on their hands. Enough time has passed between entries that a nostalgia factor may be in play. It doesn’t hurt that competition is minimal as some heavier hitters are waiting until Memorial Day weekend and June.
The highest series opening belongs to 2009’s The Final Destination as that fourth entry started with $27 million. I believe Bloodlines should match or top that. My gut says take the over (UPDATE: way over)…
Final Destination Bloodlines opening weekend prediction: $42.2 million
