Life imitates art as ceiling collapses during 'Final Destination' movie screening

A screening of a recent installment of the ‘Final Destination’ franchise turned terrifying in Argentina when the cinema’s ceiling collapsed, resembling a scene from the movie series.

The incident unfolded on May 19 during a screening of “Final Destination: Bloodlines” at Cinema Ocho in La Plata, Buenos Aires, as reported by an Argentina-based digital news outlet, Infobae.

“We didn’t plan to go to the movies,” shared Fiamma Villaverde in an interview. “It was my birthday, and as we walked by, we stumbled upon the theater. Since tickets were cheaper than usual, we decided to go in, got some popcorn, and entered the theater just as the movie began.”

The movie franchise, now in its sixth installment, follows a group of people who narrowly escape death after surviving a mass casualty event, but are then chased down by death and face bizarre, horrific fates.

“I asked for my ticket money back,” Villaverde said. “While I was waiting, the theater manager came to talk to me. He asked, ‘How do you want to fix this?’ I got angry: ‘How do I want to fix this? I’m going to file a complaint. Just imagine if they hit my daughter in the head! They’re irresponsible!'”

Videos and images circulating on social media show a hole in the ceiling of the theater and pieces of debris spread all over the floor. 

“When life imitates art,” one user wrote on X, attached with an image of the roof collapse.

“Several injured. No casualties. Of all the films this could’ve happened during,” another user wrote.

According to several movie attendees, the recent heavy rain is alleged to have been a factor leading to the roof collapse. 

The theater has not yet issued an official statement.
