Sinners Defeats Minecraft: Shocking Box Office Battle Takes Easter by Storm!

by

The movie titled “Sinners” managed not only to bite into the weekend’s box office earnings but also astonishingly unseated “A Minecraft Movie” from its top position. Starring Jason Momoa and Jack Black, the video game adaptation came very close to retaining the No. 1 spot for a third consecutive weekend with an estimated domestic earning of $41.3 million. However, the vampire film directed by Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan, “Sinners“, clinched the top spot with a more impressive opening-weekend gross of $45.6 million. Domestically, “Sinners” added another $15.4 million to its tally, bringing its global earnings to $61 million and surpassing its production budget of $90 million.

Enthusiasts and critics, alike, were spellbound by Coogler and Jordan’s highly recommended vampire movie titled “Sinners“. This film not only showcases an almost flawless “Certified Fresh” rating of 98% on the Tomatometer, but the responses from terrified viewers, shared on Rotten Tomatoes, have also resulted in a “Verified Hot” 97% Popcornmeter – previously known as the RT audience score. The most remarkable accolade bestowed upon “Sinners“, however, is its “A” CinemaScore, which is quite unusual for a horror movie.

Fans of Faith Flocked to Cinemas in Support of ‘The King of Kings’ Over Easter Weekend

Over the Easter weekend, the faith-based movie “The King of Kings” showed strong performance, while the previous box office leader, “A Minecraft Movie,” faced competition from “Sinners” for the first position in cinemas. Director Jang Seong-Ho’s adaptation of Charles Dickens’ story, “The Life of Our Lord,” experienced a minimal 11% decrease between weekends and landed at the third spot with $17.3 million.

In a recent weekend at the box office, Rami Malek’s movie “The Amateur” earned the fourth spot with $7.2 million, closely followed by “Warfare” from A24 which garnered $4.9 million to round out the Top 5. The new animated film from GKIDS, titled “Colorful Stage! The Movie: A Miku Who Can’t Sing,” made it into the Top 10 with a gross of $2.8 million, and screenings celebrating the 20th anniversary of “Pride & Prejudice” starring Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen brought in $2.7 million to land at No. 8.

Regrettably, despite a month-long theater run, Disney’s live-action adaptation of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), starring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, has yet to surpass $200 million at the global box office, earning only $184.9 million so far. The film remains in the Top 10, but it seems that audiences are hesitant to spend money on watching it in theaters. With potential digital release and streaming on Disney+ ahead, there’s hope that Show White might see better fortune.

In the last weekend of April, multiple films are set to debut at the box office, marking the eve of the much-anticipated summer movie season. Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal collaborate in “The Accountant 2”, while “Cheech and Chong’s Last Movie” and the horror film “Until Dawn” will also hit cinemas on April 25. Additionally, fans of the galaxy far, far away can look forward to celebrating the 20th anniversary of “Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith” on the big screen starting from April 24.
