Timeline - Final Destination Wiki - Fandom

This is a timeline of all of the events that have occurred thus far in the Final Destination movie franchise. In chronological order, the on-screen events that occurred in the opening scene of Final Destination Bloodlines were the earliest, taking place in 1969. The events of Final Destination 5 occurred next, and lead into Final Destination, as both of the movies took place in 1999. Final Destination 2 was the next chronological event, taking place in 2000, then Final Destination 3 was next in 2005, and The Final Destination was next in 2009. The central narrative of Bloodlines depicted the most recent events in 2024. However, there were many historical events referenced in the movie that occurred between 1969 and 2024.

The events of the Final Destination tie-in novels and comics are included, but the dates of their occurrences are often not accurately identified. What is known, however, is that the Mornington Crescent explosion from Final Destination: Destination Zero took place in 1888, Final Destination: Death of the Senses took place in 2003, Final Destination: Dead Reckoning took place in 2004, the South Hill Metroline bombing from Final Destination: Destination Zero, the 34th Street train collision from Final Destination: End of the Line, and the Coral Clipper disaster from Final Destination: Looks Could Kill took place in 2005, the Hotel Grand Tzolk'in's explosion from Final Destination: Spring Break took place in 2006, and that Final Destination: Dead Man's Hand took place after the crash of Flight 180 in 1999.

The phone cable then got caught on the corner of an AC unit. Meanwhile, Patti arrived at the veterinary and took the veterinarian Reese hostage. As Patti injected herself with a fatal dose of anesthesia, the phone cable reached the top of the AC unit and snapped back. It hit the antenna, launching it towards the veterinary like an arrow. Patti barely escaped impalement when the TV antenna came crashing through a window. She died for a minute and was revived at St Joseph's Hospital by Dr. Russ.

8. ↑ During the 1960s, newspapers typically operated on fixed print deadlines, so a major incident like the Sky View Tower grand opening being cut short at sunset on May 16 would most realistically be reported in the following day’s morning edition, dated May 17. This would allow reporters time overnight to verify facts, gather official statements, and write a complete account, all of which are reflected in the article shown during the credits. While some cities still ran late evening editions that could include same-day coverage, such reports were often brief and incomplete. As a result, May 17 stands as the most historically accurate newspaper reference point, with May 16 remaining the actual date on which the disaster was prevented.
9. ↑ "Bad Moon Rising", a song released in 1969, is playing during the opening of Final Destination: Bloodlines. This clearly sets the opening scene of the movie in 1969. Additionally, both directors Adam Stein and Zach Lipovsky, as well as actress Brec Bassinger, have referred to the opening scene as the “1969 premonition.” In that case, it still remains unclear why the article detailing the tower’s closure for repairs is dated 1968.

15. ↑ She gets in a car to try and escape Death, so we know she can drive.
16. ↑ Alex was born in 1982, and the minimum driving age in New York is 16, which means that the earliest time he would've been able to obtain a driver's license was after his 16th birthday.
17. ↑ He says "I've seen this before," when talking to Sam Lawton about the North Bay Bridge collapse.
18. ↑ Because the characters wore different clothes on this day, and photos of the collapsed bridge are hanging in the police station, it can be assumed that it's not the day the bridge collapsed, but rather the day after.
19. ↑ William is an undertaker in Final Destination 5 and a mortician with his own funeral home in Final Destination, so he must have been promoted off-screen.
20. ↑ There is a notable discrepancy in the franchise, as the original Final Destination movie is shown to have taken place in 1999, while the fifth movie in the franchise moves the timeline forward to 2000. This is most likely a mistake on the producers' part.
21. ↑ Clear states that she and Alex cheated Death "dozens of times" between them, indicating at least twelve off-screen escapes for each of them, assuming she is being literal and not exaggerating. This implies that Alex's death from a falling brick was his thirteenth encounter with Death since leaving Paris. See conversation below: Clear Rivers: Look, we drove a long way to get here, so if you happen to know how to stop Death, it would be really great if you told us. William Bludworth: You can't cheat Death. There are no escapes. Clear Rivers: Bullshit! You told me Death has a distinct design. Alex and I cheated Death, not once but dozens of times. The design is flawed; it can be beaten.
22. ↑ William Bludworth ends up with the bodies of Tod Waggner and Evan Lewis, so we can assume that he obtained Alex's body too.
23. ↑ Kimberly Corman says that she "had a good summer", implying that summer has already ended.

29. ↑ There are multiple mentions that the disaster occurred on a Friday.
30. ↑ In the Borderlands Patrol magazine, the cover date says December 2004.
31. ↑ Patti mentions that the Borderlands Patrol magazine was "last December's issue", meaning that the year 2004 has passed.
32. ↑ Jewish funerals tend to be held as soon as possible after death, and Susan Fries is mentioned to have had one held for her, and due to the fact she dies on a Sunday, and the funeral is held on a Monday, it can be assumed it takes place the day after
33. ↑ The multiple chapters of the book in which these events occur are implied to take place on the same day, and it's stated to be President's Day during it.
34. ↑ The disaster takes place on the same date the Flight 180 and Route 23 disasters occurred.
35. ↑ According to the school signs in Final Destination 3, the school year is the graduating class of 2005.
36. ↑ There is a major discrepancy in that Brian Gibbons is claimed to have been a survivor of a disaster called the Lakeview fire, even though he is explicitly shown to have died after Rory Peters intervened in his planned death following a car crash involving the survivors of the Route 23 pileup, which occurred three years before the Lakeview fire. This is most likely a mistake by the prop designers, and the most plausible explanation is that the two individuals named Brian Gibbons are entirely different people who cheated different deaths years apart.
37. ↑ There is a discrepancy in that the printout of the news article about Samantha’s death is dated January 8, 2009, while a later printout made by Nick and Lori regarding signs of death and the deaths of Pam Smith and Craig Perry is dated April 9, 2009. This is most likely a mistake on the prop designer’s part; additionally, a homemade printed document is more likely to contain incorrect dates than an official news article. Therefore, for the purposes of the latter, the date of Samantha Lane’s death is January 8, 2009.
38. ↑ It is mentioned that Charlie Reyes' prom/graduation is upcoming, and at the end of the film, he's attending his prom that day. High school graduations in the United States, along with prom, typically take place in the middle of the year, roughly between May and June. The year, though not fully certain, is at least 2024 as Erik Campbell is seen playing the Khaos Reign version of Mortal Kombat 1, which was released in 2024.
