Final Destination: Bloodlines, the sixth installment of the hit supernatural horror franchise, has made a strong impression in the Indian box office. Following a Thursday opening of ₹5.35 crore (midnight previews included), the Kaitlyn Santa Juana-starrer is estimated to add another ₹4.75 crore on Friday. If achieved, this will bring the film’s total to ₹10 crore even before the weekend begins, positioning it well to cross the ₹20 crore mark in the coming weeks.
The impending release of Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning, featuring Tom Cruise and opening in cinemas on May 17, offers formidable competition. Nevertheless, Bloodlines seems poised to stand its ground. Its genre edge is the answer—whereas Mission: Impossible appeals to action and espionage fans, Final Destination: Bloodlines targets the increasingly large base of horror fans in India. Both serving different segments of the audience, both films can successfully coexist without significantly affecting each other’s business.
Strong positive critical reception is a further big plus for Bloodlines. It has received the top reviews in the franchise to date, with fans praising its tension, supernatural themes, and strong emotional content. Kaitlyn Santa Juana’s acting has also been positively received, enticing the film to appeal not just to franchise enthusiasts but also newcomers to the franchise.

The timing of the release works to its advantage as well. With no big Indian releases this weekend, Bloodlines has a free field to gain momentum. Even while Mission: Impossible commandeers a big portion of screens next week, the horror movie is likely to hold a steady run, especially in multiplexes in cities.
Overall, Final Destination: Bloodlines is on course to be a breakout horror success in India, poised to easily cross ₹20 crore and maintain momentum in the face of heavyweight competition.
