That figure is just $100K shy of the studio\u2019s Sinners\u2018 previews that pic turning into a $48M opening. The forecast on Final Destination 6 here was $35M-$40M heading into the weekend, but with excellent reviews and audience response on Rotten Tomatoes at respectively 93% and 90%, don\u2019t be shocked if those forecasts are left in the dust for something greater.  Showtimes on Thursday began at 3:30pm. Warner Bros didn\u2019t return request for comment on Thursday night\u2019s ticket sales.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tWe\u2019ve come a long way in the preview game: the last Final Destination was in 2011 and did $450K off midnight shows which yielded an $18M start. Previews for Bloodlines are also ahead of NEON\u2019s The Monkey, which did $1.9M before a $14M opening; another notable horror bow this year to date. The best opening in the series belongs to 2009\u2019s The Final Destination with a $27.4M 3-day. As we previously mentioned, Bloodlines will score a record opening for the New Line R-rated franchise. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tBloodlines will rep the 4th No. 1 opening for Warner Bros this year after Mickey 17, A Minecraft Movie and Sinners. Through 20 weekends, and counting Bloodlines, Warner Bros has notched No. 1 six times so far at the 2025 domestic box office.   <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tDirectors on Bloodlines are Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein off a screenplay by Guy Busick and Lori Evans Taylor based on characters by Jeffrey Reddick. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tAlso opening this weekend is the Live Nation, Lionsgate release <strong>Hurry Up Tomorrow <\/strong>starring The Weeknd and Jenna Ortega. Speaking of horror, at 16% on Rotten Tomatoes, critics covered their eyes. However, audiences were far more generous at 75%. We\u2019ll see where that one goes, the $15M Trey Edward Shults directed movie forecasted to be in the mid to high single digits. As we mentioned, it\u2019s a distribution deal for Lionsgate, so no skin off their nose. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tDisney\/MCU\u2019s <strong>Thunderbolts*<\/strong> and Warner\u2019s <strong>Sinners <\/strong>are expected to hold quite well. The Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, Wyatt Russell, David Harbour, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Hannah John-Kamen ensemble is expected to do around <strong>$19M<\/strong> in weekend 3 while the Ryan Coogler directed, Michael B. Jordan starring vampire pic is looking to be around <strong>$15M<\/strong>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EXCLUSIVE: Warner Bros\u2019 box office bonanza continues this weekend as New Line\u2019s horror reboot Final Destination: Bloodlines is&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":106032,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3935],"tags":[77,4579,3943,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-106031","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-final-destination-bloodlines","10":"tag-movies","11":"tag-uk","12":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114517058764656707","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106031","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=106031"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106031\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/106032"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=106031"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=106031"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=106031"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
