The first Final Destination film since 2011 does things a little differently — and leaves open lots of possibilities for a sequel.

Unlike the characters marked for death in a 'Final Destination' movie, Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein's film overcame obstacle after obstacle to bring new life to the series. Now, the latest installment is in the midst of a record-setting run.

This was the central conceit of “Final Destination,” a 2000 horror movie, released just past the slasher movie renaissance that began with “Scream” in 1995, that went on to have a uniquely satisfying run all its own.
