'Final Destination 4' To Take Up Less Marquee Space
Saturday, May 16, 2009

The New Beverly is showing Friday the 13th's "Tommy Jarvis Saga" (parts 4-6) next month, so last night they were showing trailers for the films. And I was charmed to see how they actually EMBRACED their sequel status, with giant roman numerals reminding us how far they had come. Nowadays, studios like to drop the numbers (the Saw series is a welcome exception) in favor of subtitles, or in some cases, simply changing the grammatical structure. So now Final Destination 4, aka Final Destination: Death Trip 3D, will be curiously titled THE Final Destination, according to BoxOfficeMojo*. So what if there's another? Do they start over and call it The Final Destination 2? Whatever it's called, it's still coming out on August 28th, where it will butt heads with the similarly titular challenged Halloween sequel.

In a related story, Adam Sandler/Kevin James/Chris Rock/Rob Schneider/David Spade Untitled Comedy has sadly been named Grown Ups, which is much less interesting to me.

*Where I was pleased to discover that the awesome Star Trek will outgross Wolverine, which has been out a week longer, by the end of the upcoming week at the latest.

but think about this, Wolverine did something like 84 million...and was leaked online a month prior (granted, it was incomplete). still, i agree with you BC, Star Trek is/was better than Wolverine. i just feel that the visuals killed Wolverine more than anything else-crappy CGI and green screen made it look like a scfi saturday night production. also, shouldnt it be called The Final Destination 3D? (or something with "3D" in it)

Terrible. If only Newline and Warner. Bros would quit fucking around with titles and dates, and release a god damn trailer and poster with the simple words..."FINAL DESTINATION 4" on them!!!!!

If they're smart, they won't name it THE Final Deestination. That implies that it is the last film. This series has raked in so much money that they'd be stupid to end it now.

Ack! Destination*. Also, I agree with The180Curse. What's so hard about naming it Final Destination 4? Are they scared of something?

I hope that the general assumption with "The" being the end is correct... What a piece of crap bunch of movies.

Well whatever Final Destination 4 is called,It will still get my 10.00 that weekend. RZ's halloween2 Grizzly Adams. however will not.

Well I've been thinking about it, and usually the sequel that is in 3D is the 3rd one: Spy Kids, Friday the 13th, Jaws, etc. So it might confuse people into thinking that its the 3rd one being re-released in 3D. Don't forget, lot of moviegoers are idiots - there were a lot of reports of people leaving after Planet Terror because they didn't understand that Death Proof was playing right after.

You mean like how My Bloody Valentine 3-D was the third entry in the My Bloody Valentine saga!? It was, wasn't it?! Dur-dur, tee-hee!

And then we can anxiously await Final Destination V: A new Beginning...If it makes enough money there's nothing Final about it.

Since they are releasing 2 horror movies on the same day "STUPID" They should have a double feature for the horror fans.... THE Final Destination followed by Rob Zombies Halloween! Either way Ill be seein both that weekend....

You gotta be shi**ing me! First The Fast and The Furious 4 is simply called 'Fast and Furious', now Final Destination 4 (which recently got the title 'Final Destination: Death Trip 3D') is called 'The Final Destination'. What's next? Will be Spider-Man 4 be called 'The Spider-man'? I just hope they change the title, it's lazy, stupid and confusing.

If it flops it will be the final one, if it doesn't, another sequel will be here in 3 years time (it's the FD pattern, FD1=2000,FD2=2003,FD3=2006,FD4=2009)

Halloween 2 will NOT beat this at the box office. These films have been surprisingly successful, and with the 3-D element, better marketing with Warner Brothers, and the summer release, this one is likely to be the biggest one yet. Even though I'm really looking forward to seeing Halloween 2, I don't think people are going to be as excited this time around because A) the first one wasn't well-received by most people and B) the hype (so far) isn't too good for the film (especially after the mixed reaction to the trailer).

What is it with movie studios and their stupid fucking titles lately? Rocky Balboa, Rambo, The Final Destination, etc...just put the fucking numbers at the end.

good. now maybe it can take up less screen space and go straight to dvd.

I don't care about the title. I care about the fact that the movie is a few months away and we haven't even seen a trailer.

I also think it's a bit of a mistake getting the guy behind Final Destination 2 involved because I personally found that to be the worst in the series. The Final Destination is a totally ridiculous title. FINAL DESTINATION 4 please.

These titles also mess with DVD buyers and renters. I work at Blockbuster and still struggle organizing these movies like "Live Free or Die Hard." I want to put it next to the others, but when I do, someone will look for it under "L" and ask me where it is. GAH!
