Final Destination Bloodlines may have been the sixth installment in the franchise, but it is also the most successful installment in the beloved franchise. The first movie, Final Destination, was released in 2000 and only took in $112.8 million worldwide, but with a low budget of $23 million, that was enough to kickstart a new franchise for New Line Cinema. One that has had plenty of twists and turns throughout the years. Despite telling stories of Death for over 20 years now, the Final Destination franchise has managed to continue to expand upon the lore thanks to Final Destination 5, which is technically a prequel to the first movie, and most recently, Final Destination Bloodlines.
The Final Destination movies focus on characters who have premonitions of horrific and deadly tragedies but manage to cheat death along with a handful of others. In the end, however, they eventually learn that Death is an unstoppable force that cannot be beat and will ultimately come for the survivors one by one. The franchise’s canonical order is Final Destination 5, Final Destination, Final Destination 2, Final Destination 3, The Final Destination, and Final Destination Bloodlines. While Bloodlines did stick to the theme of the remainder of the films, it also managed to serve as a prequel and sequel to the franchise by also taking the lore back to 1968 for parts of the story.
