Release order or chronological order?

Release order is the best way in. Each film is a separate story with a connection back to the first, so release order is the easiest to follow.

Chronological order starts with Final Destination 5, because its ending leads into the first film. Sources disagree on Bloodlines, so its place in story order is approximate.

What is not out yet

A seventh film is listed but is not out yet. It sits at the end of both lists.
