Theatre Ceiling Collapses At Final Destination: Bloodlines Screening, Woman Escapes Narrowly

Villaverde had brought her 11-year-old daughter and a friend to watch the sixth installment of the horror franchise, which ironically features death hunting down those who attempt to cheat fate. The spontaneous movie night became a chilling case of life imitating art.

The birthday outing began as an unplanned adventure. Villaverde told Infobae that she initially had no intention of seeing the latest Final Destination film. "It was my birthday, we were walking and happened upon the theatre," she explained to the outlet. "Since the tickets were cheaper than the rest of the week, we said, 'Shall we?' We went in, bought some popcorn, and went into the theatre."

The movie was nearing its conclusion when disaster struck. A crash interrupted the film's climactic moments, causing confusion among the audience members.

Ceiling Debris Strikes During Movie's Climax

"There was a really loud noise. At first, we thought it was part of the movie because we were so absorbed; but then a huge piece fell on me," Villaverde recounted. The massive chunk of ceiling struck her knee, requiring immediate medical attention at a local hospital.

The mother's quick reflexes may have saved her life. "It didn't hit me in the head because I was just leaning a little over the armrest," she told the source. This minor movement prevented what could have been a fatal injury, particularly considering her young daughter was seated nearby.

Following the incident, Villaverde encountered resistance from theatre management when she requested accountability. The theatre manager's response proved unsatisfactory, according to Villaverde's statement.

"He asked, 'How do you want to fix this?'" she reported. The dismissive attitude prompted an angry response from the injured mother. "How do I want to fix this? I'm going to file a complaint," she snapped back. "Just imagine if they hit my daughter in the head! They're irresponsible!"

The accident has created lasting impacts beyond the initial injury. Villaverde, who was already receiving treatment for panic attacks and anxiety disorder, faces additional challenges following the traumatic experience.

"I have a hard time being in crowded places. I haven't been to the movies in years," she explained. "I went because it was my birthday, and look what happened to me."

The incident has forced Villaverde to miss several days of work from her custodian position at a local bar, creating financial strain alongside her physical recovery.

Legal Action Planned Against Cinema

Villaverde is pursuing legal recourse for the incident. "I haven't filed a complaint yet, but I've contacted a lawyer," she told Infobae. "Who's going to take care of this?"
