“Final Destination: Bloodlines” opened in 3,523 locations riding in on a wave of strong reviews (93% on Rotten Tomatoes) and viral marketing tactics, including a picture of logs on the back of trucks — a callback to one of the more infamous “Final Destination” death traps.

The Warner Bros. and New Line film towered over domestic box office charts, overtaking the No. 1 spot from reigning champion, Marvel’s “Thunderbolts,” and trouncing fellow newcomer, the Weeknd’s “ Hurry Up Tomorrow ,” which crash-landed in sixth place.

Final Destination has defied death once again. The iconic horror franchise is back from the grave with Final Destination Bloodlines, the first installment since Final Destination 5 brought the saga full circle in 2011.
