**”Final Destination Bloodlines” Kills at Box Office, While The Weeknd’s “Hurry Up Tomorrow” Stumbles**

**LOS ANGELES, CA** – “Final Destination Bloodlines,” the sixth installment in the gruesome horror franchise, is exceeding expectations, poised for a franchise-best opening after a $21 million debut including Friday and preview screenings. The film, from Warner Bros. and New Line, is reaping the benefits of strong reviews and positive audience buzz, likely surpassing the series’ previous best opening of $27.4 million held by “The Final Destination” (2009). With a modest $50 million budget, “Bloodlines” is already off to a bloody good start, with an additional $26.4 million earned internationally.

Meanwhile, The Weeknd’s highly anticipated “Hurry Up Tomorrow” is facing a grim reality at the box office. The psychological thriller, distributed by Lionsgate, earned a mere $2.33 million on its opening day, including fan event previews. Critics panned the film, giving it a lackluster “C-” CinemaScore grade, and projections estimate a three-day gross of less than $3.6 million. The film’s failure to connect with audiences stands in stark contrast to The Weeknd’s massive popularity as a live performer.

In other box office news:

* **”Sinners”** (Warner Bros.) continues its strong run, surpassing “Thunderbolts\*” for second place. The film is expected to gross over $240 million domestically and become one of the highest-grossing R-rated movies ever.
* **”Thunderbolts\*”** (Disney) is experiencing stronger staying power compared to previous MCU predecessors.
* **”A Minecraft Movie”** (Warner Bros./Legendary Entertainment) breaks into the domestic box office’s top 40, passing “Jurassic Park” (1993).
* **”The Accountant 2″** (Amazon MGM) is performing well but will likely not outgross the original.
