Personally I think the Final Destination series should have died a long time ago. Fans of the series this weekend on the other hand thought differently, the flick brought in $28.3 million dollars to claim the #1 spot at the box office.

The fourth installment in the series opened at 3,121 theaters and was offered on almost half of those screens in 3D which came with higher per ticket costs. That’s an impressive per theater average of $9,000 per screen. Not bad considering those numbers are nearly 50% of the total gross made by Final Destination 3.

The movie also opened in the last weekend of August, a time of year where most movies rarely open at higher than $18 million.

Final Destination also faced some stiff competition from Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglorious Bastards” which in it’s second week took in close to $20 million and Rob Zombies “Halloween 2″ which pulled in $17.4 million. [numbers via ComingSoon]
