“Final Destination” Fan Injured as Theater Ceiling Collapses During Screening

A woman in Argentina had a real-life brush with death during a screening of “Final Destination: Bloodlines”, when a portion of the theater’s ceiling suddenly gave way and crashed down on her mid-movie.

The incident happened in La Plata, Argentina, where the 29-year-old was attending the horror sequel with her 11-year-old daughter. Fortunately, she was leaning over the armrest at the time—otherwise, the chunk of ceiling might have hit her directly in the head. She did suffer injuries that sent her to the hospital and, according to reports, has been unable to work since the accident.

In a chilling twist that feels straight out of the “Final Destination” franchise, she initially didn’t realize anything was wrong.

“At first, we thought it was part of the movie because we were so involved,” she said. “But then a huge piece fell on me.”

Understandably shaken and now dealing with physical recovery and lost income, the woman has since contacted a lawyer.

The incident adds a strange layer of irony to the already grim premise of the “Final Destination” series—films that revolve around characters narrowly avoiding freak deaths, only to be picked off later by fate.
