Final Destination: Bloodlines Delivers Franchise’s Largest Opening Day in India

Final Destination Bloodlines made a solid entry into Indian theatres on Thursday, collecting Rs 5.25 crore on Day 1, including late-night show earnings. According to estimates report from Pinkvilla, this marks the highest opening day for any film in the Final Destination franchise in India.

Directed by Adam Stein and Zach Lipovsky, the film taps into the genre’s consistent appeal in the Indian market. Its supernatural theme and graphic death scenes continue to attract horror enthusiasts. The release across languages—English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu—added to its reach. Given that horror has a steady audience in India, the genre’s fan pull was expected.

This chapter revolves around a family haunted by the aftermath of a fatal event from 50 years ago. It is revealed that the family matriarch had once escaped a deadly accident she wasn’t meant to survive, triggering a fatal chain reaction — staying true to the franchise’s central theme that death cannot be cheated.

Made on a budget of around $50 million, the film is expected to face competition from Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, releasing this Saturday. While the two films target different audiences, horror versus action Bloodlines may lose premium screens over the weekend. Despite this, the film's early success suggests strong interest, especially among younger viewers and longtime fans.

Box office experts predict a four-day weekend collection of Rs 15 crore to Rs 20 crore, provided the film maintains its current momentum. A drop is likely next week depending on audience feedback and word-of-mouth.

Final Destination Bloodlines is currently playing in theatres across India, and tickets are available online and at cinema counters. As per India Forums, the film has received a 3.5-star rating. Audience reactions on social media have also been largely positive, praising the suspense and thrilling death sequences.

With the franchise now running for over 25 years, Bloodlines continues the tradition of exploring the idea that death’s design cannot be avoided — only postponed.
