The three Watts-directed Spider-Man movies, which also includes “Spider-Man: Homecoming” and “Spider-Man: Far from Home,” together have grossed a whopping $3.5 billion worldwide. December’s “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” one of only four live-action superhero movies to earn the coveted A+ CinemaScore, has swung its way to the 6th highest grossing film domestically and 8th highest grossing film of all time worldwide at over $1.53 billion and counting. Watts’ third “Spider-Man” film continues to surpass box office records on a scale unmatched in the pandemic era. The 2000 film spawned four sequels, with the most recent installment, “Final Destination 5,” hitting theaters in 2011. In the first entry in the franchise, released in 2000, Devon Sawa starred as a teenager who deboarded a plane after having a vision of a crash, only to then be chased by Death who felt cheated by his actions. The “Final Destination” films are unique to the horror genre because the antagonist is not a physical being, but Death personified. New Line remains a vanguard of the horror genre with “Salem’s Lot” and “Evil Dead Rise” releasing in 2022, with “Salem’s Lot” going the theatrical route and “Evil Dead Rise” premiering on HBO Max. The hit “Final Destination” film franchise has earned nearly $700 million worldwide to date making it New Line’s third biggest horror franchise behind the record-breaking $2 billion plus “The Conjuring” Universe and $1 billion plus “IT” films. Busick is also a writer on “Scream,” which opens in theaters this weekend. Lori Evans Taylor and Guy Busick are writing the screenplay from a story by Jon Watts based on his treatment. With Guy and Lori’s inspired execution of Jon’s original idea, we have a movie that audiences are gonna love.” “Sheila and I couldn’t be more excited to have their creative energy driving this latest installment in the ‘Final Destination’ franchise with New Line. “Jon and Dianne’s passion for the series is only matched by how much fun they are to work with,” Perry added.
