Final Destination: Bloodlines is turning out to be a dark horse at the Indian box office. As the supernatural horror film enters its second week in theaters, it continues to show solid traction. On Day 8, the film is projected to earn Rs 2.4 crore, pushing its total net collection in India to an estimated Rs 32.4 crore a notable feat for a horror sequel with modest expectations.
Premonitions, Family Curses, and a Race Against Death
Directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein, Bloodlines follows college student Stefanie (played by Kaitlyn Santa Juana), who begins experiencing terrifying premonitions linked to a tragic accident from 1968. As she uncovers her family’s connection to the original event and inherits visions from her dying grandmother, Stefanie finds herself in a desperate battle to break Death’s unrelenting cycle.
The film also stars Teo Briones, Richard Harmon, Anna Lore, and Brec Bassinger. Franchise veteran Tony Todd returns in a chilling role, marking his final screen appearance before his passing in November 2024. His presence has added emotional weight and nostalgia for longtime fans.
Positive Word-of-Mouth Powers the Momentum
Despite facing competition from the blockbuster Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, Final Destination: Bloodlines has carved a niche for itself. The film benefited from a strong opening weekend and has maintained steady weekday earnings a rare achievement for horror titles in the Indian market.
Much of the film’s success can be attributed to glowing word-of-mouth among horror fans. Unlike many recent genre entries that skipped theaters in favor of digital platforms, Warner Bros.’ decision to release Bloodlines theatrically has clearly paid off.
Critical Praise and Global Success
Critics have largely lauded Bloodlines as a return to form for the long-running franchise, praising its clever plot, fresh cast, and suspenseful execution. With little genre-specific competition in the current lineup, the film is expected to maintain its momentum over the coming weekend.
