Will Bloodlines Reignite Interest In The Franchise?
It’s now been 13 years since the previous movie, so it’s hard to say whetherBloodlineswill be a success.Final Destination 5was made on a $40 million budget and grossed $158 million worldwide, meaning it was a hit, but the theatrical landscape of today is vastly different from the one in 2011.
Final Destination 5earned lukewarm reviews from critics and currently sports a 63% onRotten Tomatoes.
It’s not clear ifBloodlineswill be a traditional legacy sequel, butScreamwas able to revive itself with this format in 2022, 11 years after the previous installment.It’s entirely possible the upcomingFinal Destinationmovie will revive interest in the long-running horror franchiseas well, but it will have less nostalgia to bank on compared toScream, so it may instead have to rely more on delivering truly shocking kills. Many questions remain aboutFinal Destination: Bloodlines, but with a release date now six months away, a trailer likely isn’t far off.
