Brec Bassinger in “Final Destination Bloodlines.”
Final Destination Bloodlines — the hit sixth film in the “Final Destination” horror film franchise — is arriving on streaming video on demand on HBO Max this week.
Rated R, Final Destination Bloodlines opened in theaters on May 16 before debuting on digital streaming via premium video on demand on June 17. The logline for the film reads, “Plagued by a violent recurring nightmare, college student Stefanie (Kaitlyn Santa Juana) heads home to track down the one person who might be able to break the cycle and save her family from the grisly demise that inevitably awaits them all.”
Directed by Adam Stein and Zach Lipovsky, Final Destination Bloodlines also stars Teo Briones, Richard Harmon, Owen Patrick Joyner, Anna Lore, Brec Bassinger and the late Tony Todd.
Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment recently announced in a press release that Final Destination Bloodlines will debut on SVOD on HBO Max on Friday, Aug. 1, and HBO on cable on Saturday, Aug. 2, at 8 p.m. ET.
HBO Max offers three SVOD tiers. The platform’s ad-based tier costs $9.99 per month, its ad-free tier is $16.99 per month and its ad-free tier that includes 4K Ultra HD programming costs $20.99 per month.
HBO Linear Is Hosting A ‘Final Destination’ Movie Marathon
The debut of Final Destination Bloodlines on HBO linear on Saturday is part of a Final Destination movie marathon.
The movie marathon will begin at 12:10 p.m. ET on the cable outlet with the first Final Destination movie from 2000, followed by Final Destination 2 (2003) at 1:50 p.m. ET, Final Destination 3 (2006) at 3:24 p.m. ET, The Final Destination (2009) at 5 p.m. ET and Final Destination 5 (2011) at 6:25 a.m. PT.
Final Destination Bloodlines wraps up the movie marathon when it begins at 8 p.m. ET.
In a Zoom conversation prior to the release of Final Destination Bloodlines in theaters, Zach Liposky and Adam Stein said one of their goals in directing the new Final Destination film was to make the deaths seem plausible.
“Everyone has that feeling all day of, ‘Oh, this is a little off, but it’ll be fine,’ like every time you get on a plane to every time you walk across the street to every time you take a subway,” Lipovsky explained. “There are small things in your everyday life where there’s this voice that’s like, ‘Eh? It’ll be all right.’ So, every time we had that feeling, we went, “You know what? What if it wasn’t, right? Let’s put that in the movie, so you constantly have this awareness.’”
That awareness also includes the brutal backyard barbecue mishap that kicks off Final Destination Bloodline’s Rube Goldberg machine-inspired final trailer.
“What makes this movie work is that there are these very relatable, everyday things that everyone experiences,” Lipovsky noted. “Everyone’s tried to light a barbecue that’s not quite lighting, you know?”
Final Destination Bloodlines was a huge hit in theaters, earning $138.1 million domestically and nearly $147.2 million internationally for a worldwide box office tally of $285.3 million. The film had a $50 million production budget before prints and advertising costs, according to The Numbers.
In addition, Final Destination Bloodlines was celebrated by Rotten Tomatoes critics, who collectively gave the film a 93% “fresh” rating based on 223 reviews. The film also received an 87% “fresh” score on RT’s Popcornmeter based on 5,000-plus verified user ratings.
Final Destination Bloodlines begins streaming on HBO Max on Friday and debuts on HBO linear on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET.
