The Final Destination movie franchise has made a massive return with Final Destination: Bloodlines, and its trailer is a runaway success. In just 24 hours, the trailer for Bloodlines racked up many millions of views worldwide, making it the second most-viewed horror movie trailer in history. The other film in question was even more iconic.
The ‘Final Destination: Bloodlines’ trailer shows how dedicated a fan base is
Bloody Disgusting reports the trailer for Final Destination: Bloodlines garnered 178.7 million views in 24 hours. It is just behind It, which had nearly 200 million views when it debuted in 2017. The fact that both films are produced by New Line Cinema adds an interesting layer to this success.
So, why did Final Destination: Bloodlines draw such an enormous amount of attention? First, the Final Destination franchise itself has a loyal and devoted fan base. Since the first film’s release in 2000, the series has become iconic in the horror genre. The concept of death pursuing those who escaped it in a deadly accident has fascinated audiences for years. Fans of the series have eagerly awaited the next installment, making the trailer a must-watch.
The success of Bloodlines also has a lot to do with the growing popularity of the Final Destination brand. Each new film in the franchise has introduced fresh and creative ways for death to come for its characters, keeping audiences intrigued. The anticipation for Bloodlines has only grown stronger, especially with promises of a new, high-stakes plot and terrifyingly imaginative death scenes. Additionally, with modern technology, film trailers now reach a wider audience faster than ever before. Social media platforms and online sharing have amplified the reach of such trailers, making viral success easier to achieve.
How ‘It’ helped the new trailer to become a hit
Another factor that likely contributed to the trailer’s success is the lasting impact of It. The 2017 adaptation of Stephen King’s novel was a massive hit and set records for the genre. Fans of horror were already excited to see It: Chapter Two, which helped spark renewed interest in all things spooky. As a result, any trailer linked to New Line Cinema, the studio behind It, was already primed for massive attention. Final Destination: Bloodlines, as another highly anticipated horror film by New Line, benefited from this association.
Moreover, both Final Destination and It have shared similarities in their fan engagement strategies. Both films focus on thrilling, heart-pounding horror that appeals to a wide range of audiences. They are known for their jump-scares, intense suspense, and larger-than-life moments of terror. The emotional connection fans have to these franchises, along with their anticipation for each new film, leads to massive trailer viewership.
‘Final Destination: Bloodlines’ comes from a studio with a major legacy of terror
It’s also worth noting that New Line Cinema has a strong track record of producing successful horror franchises. Besides It and Final Destination, the studio has been behind other fan-favorite films like The Conjuring series. Their ability to create films that resonate with horror lovers has made them a dominant force in the genre. This reputation likely contributed to the huge amount of trailer traffic for Bloodlines.
As fans eagerly await the full release, it’s clear that Bloodlines is poised to continue the franchise’s legacy of thrilling and terrifying audiences worldwide.
