The blood line was not “”Final destination“After all. On August 8, New Line and Warner announced Bros. (via Amount) to ”Final destination 7“Is official in the works, complete with” Final Destination: Bloodlines “writer Lori Evans Taylor on board. Returning is also the producers Craig Perry, Sheila Hanahan Taylor, Jon Watts, Dianne McGunigle and Toby Emmerich. Warren Zide will serve as an executive.
The news comes when the studio has another horror hit on their hands with ”Arms“The latest from” barbaric “director Zach Cregger. In its Opening weekend“Weapons” gathered an estimated $ 42.5 million at the domestic cash register, an impressive debut for a movie that cost $ 38 million. Similarly, “blood lines” opened for $ 51.7 million In May of a budget of $ 50 million. As of August 10, that movie has moved on $ 138 million In North America and $ 285 million all over the world, which takes in a giant franchise for the new Line Line Devision of Warner Bros.
These horror hits also fall right in line with New Line’s story. After all, it was once a new studio that finally – after years of modest success – made it to the great time with Freddie Kruger and “A Nightmare on Elm Street” as early as 1984. In recent years, further horror franchise has added the scary reputation of the division, including “The Conjuring” and “IT” series.
The original “Final destination” – Released 2000 – was a big hit for a new line the days before it fell into Warner Bros. And gathered $ 112 million worldwide against a budget of $ 23 million. The four sequels released between the first post and “Bloodlines” performed in a similar way, although there was a long 14-year-old gap after “final destination 5.”
The release and success of the latest “destination” is not only a spotlight on a new line, but on the massive millennial nostalgia that has defined in the summer of 2025. While interesting is the performance for the more Gen X-coded “I know what you did last summer” fell relatively flat (even if done Ok), everything and all the things that focus on millennials have met some praise, either from critics or audiences or both. Just this weekend, “Freakier Friday” – A sequel to Key 2003 Millennial Comedy “Freaky Friday” with Key Millennial Figurehead Lindsay Lindsay Lindsay – also shaved in millions.
Although “the naked gun” can be regarded as more of a boomer sensation, its success can also be linked to the franchise’s often play on cable TV in the 90s and “00s -when most Millennials discovered it, as did the generation’s love for” Baywatch “actress Pamela.
More and more Millennial favorites are also expected to return in the coming year, including including “The Devil Wearing Prada 2” (which will reportedly have scenes of people walking across the streets in amazing clothes), as well as “Practical magic 2,” Another generation cable stack became a fan favorite. Of course, 2024 also saw 30- and 40sethings helping power “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” to Box Office success.
Horror girls are often a safe investment, and we have had more than our fair share recently borrowed on nostalgia – including “heart eyes” and “The Monkey.” It is obvious that at least in the case of “final destination” is ready to enjoy more mountains -and coaster -way rides (Or maybe not) with familiar material.
