"Final Destination 3" was released in theaters on February 10, 2006.
"Final Destination 3" grossed $19,173,094 in its opening weekend and its final take was $54,098,051.
"Final Destination 3" had a budget of $25 million.
Was "in the works" since 2003. It is mentioned on the Final Destination 2 DVD.
The film was officially "finished" late in 2004, but James Wong was not satisfied with only showing tanning bed deaths, so he re-cast actors and added the roller coaster sequence, making the film's post-production extend, and finally completing the production in fall of 2005.
Tony Todd, who played the mortician in the first two films, provides the voice of the devil above the entrance to the roller coaster. He also provides the speaker's voice saying, "This is the end of the line," in the subway towards the end of the movie.
References to presidential assassinations include: the name of the town and high school (McKinley) and the names of the subway stations in the final scene (Booth, Oswald).
The ending was re-shot, reportedly because of unfavorable reactions at preview screenings. This also happened with the two previous films in the series.
As in the first two movies in the series, the names of several characters are references to horror film makers. The character "Lewis Romero" is an homage to the horror directors Herschell Gordon Lewis and George A. Romero. The character, "Jason Robert Wise," is a reference to Robert Wise, director of 'The Haunting (1963)' .
Much of the on-ride footage was filmed on the "Corkscrew" at Playland (part of the Pacific National Exhibition in Vancouver, Canada). The actual ride has an initial drop of 65ft and turns back around on itself before entering the double corkscrew, whilst the drop in the movie is 200ft, followed by a double corkscrew.
The song played during Ashley and Ashlyn's funeral is the same song played during the memorial service of Flight 180 in "Final Destination".
The song playing on the radio before Lewis' death in the weight room is "Killing Time" by "(Hed) P.E.".
One of the first times that the director and DVD team collaborated from inception to DVD release. Film was shoot with the DVD interactive features in mind so many scenes were filmed several times with varying out comes.
