Screen Rant on MSNSinners Hits Huge Global Box Office Milestone, Closes In On Being One Of The 10 Biggest Horror Movies EverSinners passes a global box office milestone in its fifth weekend that sees it approaching being one of the highest-grossing horror movies in history.
With no new nationwide event pic on the marquee, Marvel Studios' ensemble superhero pic easily stayed No. 1 in its second weekend. 'Friendship' makes plenty of pals at the specialty box office.
Given the latest box office figures for Sinners and Thunderbolts*, it seems the Ryan Coogler vampire pic is on pace to outgross Marvel's high budget superhero team up this weekend.
The horror movie from Ryan Coogler is on a pace to collect at least $330 million in worldwide ticket sales, a level reached by few original films in the genre.
Coleman attributes the word-of-mouth success of “Sinners” to one simple fact: It’s a good movie. Combine that with Coogler’s track record and a star lead actor in Michael B. Jordan, and success seems inevitable. But audiences and reviewers seem shocked when a scary movie becomes popular, even though it’s a fairly common occurrence.
Refresh for chart and more analysis…Remember how we use to space horror movies out on the calendar? Not any more. Absence indeed makes the heart grow fonder and we have New Line’s Final Destination: Bloodlines via Warner Bros coming in with a massive $21M,
Sinners is a bona fide blockbuster. It has now earned over $215 million domestically and a total of around $285 million globally. That makes it one of the most successful original live-action films in many, many years.
Marvel’s “Thunderbolts” and Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners” are dominating the North American box office charts again
The major studios have learned not to put out high profile titles in the wake of a new Marvel movie – hence why Eli Craig's Clown In A Cornfield, Joe Carnahan's Shadow Force, and James Madigan's Fight Or Flight were Friday's big new arrivals – and that set the box office up for another big showdown between Jake Schreier's Thunderbolts* and Ryan Coogler's Sinners.
On the other hand, Sinners scored the second-best fourth Wednesday of all time for an April release. It has beaten Hollywood biggies like Avengers: Endgame ($2 million), Avengers: Infinity War ($1.9 million), The Jungle Book ($1.4 million), and A Minecraft Movie ($1 million).
