Final Destination Bloodlines kills competition at the weekend box office

Final Destination fans braved planes, logging trucks, and other Rude Goldberg-esque death machines to come out in force for new installment Bloodlines this weekend. The legacyquel—Final Destination‘s first offering in over a decade—easily rode its nose ring-chain-fan nightmare to number one at the box office with $51 million. Warner Bros. may want to double-check that there’s no shards of glass in that massive sack of money before digging in, but that’s a bloody good return regardless. This marks not only a franchise-best opening weekend, but also the best opening day in the series’ 25-year history, with $21 million on Friday alone. Seems fans weren’t too traumatized by that rollercoaster crash to give it another go. 

The prognosis wasn’t as good for The Weeknd’s Hurry Up Tomorrow. Perhaps due to the Twitter memes or the film’s C- CinemaScore, the album tie-in bowed to a mere $3 million this weekend despite the star power behind it. (Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan star in addition to The Weeknd.) The A.V. Club reviewer Jesse Hassenger gave the project a D-, writing that Hurry Up Tomorrow “is not a movie, nor a feature-length music video, nor a regular-length music video. It is a visual. It is a thing you can see; that much, is accomplished.”

The rest of this weekend’s list is largely business as usual. Bloodlines knocked Thunderbolts* down a peg, but the MCU offering is still holding strong at $17 million. Sinners and A Minecraft Movie are also still in the mix with $15 million and $6 million, respectively. Check out the full top 10, courtesy of Box Office Mojo, below:
