They are preparing the sixth installment of Final Destination, which shows that it is still a very popular film franchise.
In 2000 the first installment of Final destination and with a budget of about 23 million dollars, it grossed more than 112 million worldwide. Which caused there to be more deliveries, which more or less followed the same tone. That is, some young people who miraculously escape death and then begin to die in the most exaggerated ways possible.
Now, in a recent interview, producer Craig Perry reveals the keys to the success of this saga of horror movies:
“I think the Final Destination franchise creates common ground with its audience. There isn’t a single person on Earth who hasn’t had a moment of déjà vu or been driving and realized that if they turned two feet to the left instead of one foot, they’d be dead.”
“I mean, there are subreddits that are just long lists of Final Destination moments that people have experienced and are sharing with each other. I think that’s why we’ve lasted as long as we have. We are not tied to specific characters, nor to a continuous story, nor to a particular place. We are tied to an idea that connects everyone.
The saga does not stop.
The screenwriter Jeffrey Reddick recently confirmed that they will final destination 6, although the pandemic slowed down the project, he is clear that they will carry it out, but for now there is no confirmed actor. What shows that it is normal that they continue to stretch the saga, is that among the first 5 films they have raised more than 663 million dollars. Being the fourth of 2009, with 186 million dollars, the one that obtained the most money. But the best thing is that to date they have all been profitable, so we hope that they will soon reveal the premiere date of the sixth.
