Horror is hot again—and Warner Bros. is leading the charge.

New Line’s ‘Final Destination: Bloodlines’ opened to a franchise-best $46 million, including a massive $21M Friday. Powered by strong nostalgia, stylish horror, and a solid B+ CinemaScore, the reboot has captivated a young, thrill-seeking audience—52% male, mostly 25–34. The South and Midwest led regional box office numbers, with Regal Times Square topping $82K on Friday alone.
