As a movie enthusiast, I must say that “Sinners” has truly outshone its rivals during its remarkable second weekend in theaters. This includes the action-packed Ben Affleck film, “The Accountant 2”. In “Sinners”, Michael B. Jordan takes on an intriguing dual role as Smoke and Stack, two twins who find themselves confronting a chilling evil lurking in their small Mississippi town during the 1930s.
When it hit the screens, “Sinners” made quite the entrance, raking in a staggering $48 million at the domestic box office, making it the highest-grossing Easter weekend debut for an R-rated movie ever recorded. Moreover, it has managed to dethrone the reigning box office titan, “A Minecraft Movie”, knocking it off its No.1 spot on the charts.
By this coming Saturday, according to the deadline, the film “Sinners” is expected to amass a total of $42 million over three days, securing its position as the top-grossing movie in North America for the second weekend in a row. Remarkably, it has outperformed “The Accountant 2,” which is projected to earn $25 million and will debut at No. 2, while “A Minecraft Movie” enters its fourth week at No. 4 and “Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith” marks its 20th anniversary re-release at No. 3.
In the meantime, the global earnings of Sinners have surpassed the $100 million mark and reached a staggering total of $127.5 million worldwide. This second weekend has been exceptional as it set several records – the domestic box office saw only a 13% decrease, making it one of the smallest drops for an R-rated horror movie in history (only behind Heart Eyes, which saw a rise of 19%). Moreover, this is director Ryan Coogler’s best second weekend performance for a non-Marvel movie and ranks as the second-best sophomore weekend for an R-rated horror movie overall (with 2017’s It taking the lead, making $60 million at a 51.3% drop).
