Ryan Coogler’s unconventional film “Sinners” remains sharp and impactful in its fourth week, fueled by a gold-standard word-of-mouth praise that only a select number of movies receive.
In its most recent achievement, the movie “Sinners” surpassed $200 million at the domestic box office following a Friday total of $199.8 million. The supernatural vampire film continues to be a success for director Coolger, who has also produced hits like the Black Panther and Creed series. Actor Michael B. has been part of all five films directed by Coolger in this run.
“Sinners” recently reached $200 million at the domestic box office after earning $199.8 million on Friday, marking another triumph for its director Coolger, known for blockbusters like Black Panther and Creed. In all five of his movies to date, Michael B. has played a leading role.
Over the weekend, it was a significant double victory for co-chairs Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy of Warner Bros.’ Motion Picture Group, as the movie adaptation of Minecraft, now the second highest-grossing video game adaptation of all time (unadjusted for inflation), surpassed $900 million worldwide. This places Minecraft and Sinners as the top two domestic grossing films of the year to date.
Or, in a shorter version:
This weekend, the movie adaptation of Minecraft became the second-highest-grossing video game film ever (unadjusted for inflation), surpassing $900 million worldwide. This puts it and Sinners as the top domestic earners of the year so far. The victory is significant for Warner Bros.’ Motion Picture Group co-chairs Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy.
As of the global box office in 2025, “Minecraft” holds the top spot among Hollywood films released so far, trailed closely by “Captain America: A Brave New World” from Disney and Marvel, which grossed $416 million, and “Sinners,” with earnings of $250.8 million.
On the weekends of May 9th and 10th, Marvel’s movie “Thunderbolts” is dominating overall. Similar to “Sinners,” it’s gaining from exceptional audience ratings. If initial predictions are accurate, the superhero film could drop by just 51% to 53%, earning around $35 million or more in its second week. This potential drop would rank among the strongest in Marvel Cinematic Universe history for a second weekend showing. Led by Florence Pugh and Sebastian Stan, “Thunderbolts” is expected to conclude Sunday with a global total surpassing $200 million. As of now, we’re still awaiting the final verdict on the movie’s long-term success. Its ultimate standing will depend on how well it maintains its performance once more competition arrives in the marketplace (there are no new major Hollywood event films being released this weekend).
At Warner Bros., De Luca and Abdy have faced criticism internally for overly relying on auteur filmmakers and unique productions. Coogler’s R-rated movie is one of several such projects, and it has become a significant source of pride for them. Seldom do we encounter a hidden gem like “Sinners“, a story set in the Jim Crow south during the early 1930s that features Jordan portraying twin brothers who purchase a juke joint, only to uncover a malevolent supernatural force lurking within.
Initially, when Sinners debuted, it was criticized by skeptics who thought the $80 million production would flop. However, they were mistaken as Sinners has been performing exceptionally well among Black moviegoers, a group often overlooked in Hollywood. Additionally, it also appeals to White and Latino audiences.
The “Minecraft” film, jointly financed and produced by Legendary, surpassed all predictions for a movie based on a video game and undeniably kick-started a new franchise for Abdy and De Luca. However, it didn’t quite make it to the $1 billion club at the global box office as Paramount’s “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” did with over $1.33 billion in ticket sales (unadjusted for inflation). Chris Lee’s Vertigo is also involved in the production of “Minecraft”.
Numbers and estimates will be updated Sunday morning.
