Final Destination, Franchise and Bloodlines

The supernatural horror pic marks another win for Warner Bros. Elsewhere, The Weeknd's companion movie 'Hurry Up Tomorrow' sang out of key in its nationwide debut.
The first movie came out way back in 2000, and followed Devon Sawa’s character, Alex, after he had a premonition that the plane he and his classmates were on was going to explode — leading to a bunch of them to get off the plane and suffer grisly deaths after the plane did, indeed, kill everybody who had remained on board.
Warner Bros. claimed the No. 1 position at the U.K. and Ireland box office this weekend with “Final Destination: Bloodlines,” which opened to a powerful £4 million ($5.3 million), according to Comscore.
The film peaks during the ritualistic, expected cameo by Tony Todd as William Bludworth, the sinister mortician who recognizes and respects Death’s grand design. In the original “Final Destination,” Todd was arguably the biggest star in the cast, trading in on the icon status of “Candyman”; over time, he became something like the franchise mascot.
"I don’t think the fourth one is good at all, actually it sucks," Perry said in an excerpt of Clark Collis’ new book 'Screaming and Conjuring: The Resurrection and Unstoppable Rise of the Modern Horror Movie’, shared exclusively with Entertainment Weekly.
