Final Destination Bloodlines’ Infects Milla Jovovich’s 28% Rotten Tomatoes Hit at Global Box Office

Having nearly completed a month of release in theaters worldwide, Final Destination Bloodlines is wrapping up what has been a textbook theatrical run for a film of its size and shape. The horror movie has more than quadrupled its reported budget, delivered franchise-best box office results, and, most importantly, gotten a new generation of audiences interested in the series. The movie has now passed what could be its final global box office milestone, as it solidifies Warner Bros.’ comeback after a sad start to the year with the back-to-back underperformance of Bong Joon Ho’s Mickey 17 and Barry Stevenson’s The Alto Knights.

With just under $125 million domestically and another $133 million from overseas markets, Bloodlines has grossed a cumulative total of $257 million worldwide. The movie was produced on a reported budget of $50 million, and has comfortably outperformed every installment of the Scream franchise, which was also reintroduced to a new generation not that long ago. This weekend, Bloodlines overtook the $240 million lifetime global haul of 2012’s Resident Evil: Retribution, the fifth installment of the post-apocalyptic franchise, which holds a 28% Rotten Tomatoes score.

During the course of its run, Bloodlines has also overtaken memorable horror movies such as Get Out ($252 million), The Blair Witch Project ($248 million), Smile ($217 million), Bram Stoker’s Dracula ($215 million), and The Others ($207 million). It’s also the highest-grossing installment of the long-running Final Destination series, which has generated a total of over $900 million at the worldwide box office. The series’ previous highest-grossing entry was Final Destination 5, which made nearly $190 million 14 years ago.
