'Final Destination: Bloodlines' Set For Franchise Record $48.5 Million Box Office Opening

Warner Bros./New Line's "Final Destination: Bloodlines" tearing up the box office in a way that the revived horror franchise never did in its 2000s heyday, earning $21 million from 3,523 screens on opening day as it is now estimated for a series record $48 million launch weekend. The previous top opening weekend for "Final Destination" belonged to its fourth installment, "The Final Destination," which earned $27.4 million in 2009. That amounts to around $41 million in today's money, meaning that "Bloodlines" holds the franchise opening record even after inflation . . .
