Final Destination Bloodlines has been earning the best reviews of any film in the long-running series, and that success might be due to a few things.

“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.

It’s like the old saying goes, the sixth time is the charm. Or, at least it seems to be for the Final Destination movie series. The marketing blitz ahead of the Friday, May 16, 2025, premiere of Final Destination: Bloodlines generated plenty of buzz around the movie.
