Sinners’ Memorial Day Horror Boom Shatters Box Office Records!

Ryan Coogler’s highly praised vampire movie continues to make a big impact at the box office, setting new records as it goes. The recent earnings for this film starring Michael B. Jordan have placed it in the ranks of the highest-grossing horror movies ever made.

Based on reports, the movie titled “Sinners” made $7.8 million domestically on Memorial Day, boosting its North American total to $55.8 million. This latest earnings for Warner Bros.’ blockbuster is the second-highest ever for an R-rated horror film on a Monday, with 2017’s “It” leading at $8.76 million. Moreover, the Memorial Day box office collection of “Sinners” ranks as the third-highest ever for a horror movie on a Monday, with both “It” and “A Quiet Place Part II” earning more on that day ($9.5 million each).

Worldwide, the movie titled “Sinners” has currently garnered $75.5 million at the time of writing, with predictions suggesting a significant increase on Tuesday due to reduced ticket prices. This is promising news for a film that reportedly carries a budget between $90 million and $100 million, a cost that initially raised concerns about its ability to recoup these expenses. The supernatural thriller is currently competing against another Warner Bros. production, the live-action video game adaptation “A Minecraft Movie,” which has earned $717.8 million globally so far in 2025, making it the second highest-grossing film of the year.

As a dedicated cinephile, I must admit that I wasn’t taken aback by the impressive box office performance of “Sinners”. The film has struck a chord with both critics and audiences, earning it some of the highest ratings in horror genre history on my go-to platform.

What sets “Sinners” apart is not just its terrifying narrative, but also the exceptional visual experience it offers. It was filmed entirely using IMAX cameras, a choice that was guided by advice from none other than Christopher Nolan, an Oscar-winning director renowned for his mastery of large-format filmmaking.

In a fresh collaboration with Jordan, the fifth project by director Coogler, comes the tale of twins Smoke and Stack, titled “Sinners“. The narrative unfolds in Mississippi during the 1930s, where Smoke and Stack aim to leave their troubled past behind and build a new life. Upon arrival, they discover that things are not as they seem in this seemingly peaceful southern state. Some of the friendly locals they encounter are actually concealing their true nature, unveiling themselves as bloodthirsty vampires. Jordan will share the screen with Delroy Lindo (Delta Slim), (Mary), (Remmick), Miles Caton (Sammie “Preacher Boy” Moore), Jayme Lawson (Pearline) and Wunmi Mosaku (Annie) in “Sinners“.
