The Final Destination Scares Up Big Business Overseas

Source:Variety
September 19, 2009


The latest in The Final Destination series did pretty great business at the box office this past August here in the States, so it's not surprising that the 4th in the franchise is also scaring up big numbers internationally as well.

Variety reports that The Final Destination led foreign business during the Sept. 11-13 frame with $17.7 million at 2,880 playdates in 28 markets, thanks to a robust $6.5 million Russian launch and a $2 million German soph sesh.

The 3D sequel has hit $55.3 million overseas with the U.K. contributing $17.5 million, France $7.5 million and Germany $7 million. With South Korea, Mexico and Australia opening in October, The Final Destination could close out its foreign run somewhere near the $100 million mark.

The original Final Destination and the third version each grossed $59 million outside the United States while the second version took in $43 million offshore.

With numbers like that, I'm sure the powers that be will rethink calling this 4th installment the last in the franchise.

The Final Destination stars Bobby Campo, Shantel VanSanten, Nick Zano, Haley Webb, Mykelti Williamson, Krista Allen and Justin Welborn. David Ellis directed from a script by Eric Bress.

Easily as weak as Part 3, how long the gimmicky 3D will last as a smokescreen for lazy scriptwriting and DTV quality acting...

The Final Destination left a stale, seen it all before feel in my mouth. Which was a shame, considering it came from the team responsible for the series best FD2. We expected more, much more.

this is easily one of THE worst movies i've ever seen. not one moment of suspense or scariness. the deaths (a guys ass is sucked through a pool suction?!!!!!). AWFUL MOVIE!!

Its only gross so much cause of the cost of 3D admission ticket and maybe the 3D thing itself.

I doubt this will be the last. If they do make another, hope the makers of the first and third come back.

Tip: I don't know if they theater let u keep the 3D glasses, but if they do, which they should since u pay extra 3 bucks, just keep it and u will never have to pay for a bad 3D movie again.
