Sinners Sinks Its Fangs Deeper Into the Necks & Pockets of Moviegoers: Weekend Box Office Results (Apr. 25-27)
It's official -
Sinners is a monster. Most horror movies fall off by more than 60% in their second weekend. Not
Sinners. With
$45.7M, it only fell by a miniscule
4.8%.
Get Out, another R-rated horror film, only dropped by
15.4% in its second weekend. After 2 weekends,
Sinners has made
$123.2M. At this rate,
$200M is a lock and I won't be surprised if it pushes toward
$250M.
Yes we do.
Second place belongs to the 20th anniversary re-release of
Star Wars Episode lll - Revenge of the Sith, with
$25.4M. That crushes the
$8.7M Episode l's 25-year anniversary made last year in its opening weekend. It's more than the
$21.9M opening
Episode V made in its 1997 re-release. Crazy numbers. It also brings
Episode lll's lifetime domestic gross to
$405.7M.
I remember staying up all night to write a paper in college with
Episode lll playing on TNT.
Coming in third was a sequel nearly 9 years in the making -
The Accountant 2 with
$24.5M. That is actually
$200K less than what
The Accountant made in its opening weekend in 2016. I didn't care for the first one. Could not stand Anna Kendrick's character so I'll skip this.
Nope. See ya on Amazon Prime.
A Minecraft Movie continues to mine millions with another
$22.7M. That puts the running total at
$379.9M after 4 weekends. It passed
Jurassic World Dominion's $376.8M. The significance there?
Jurassic World Dominion made
$1B at the global box office.
A Minecraft Movie has made
$815.9M worldwide so far.
We have another videogame adaptation closing out the top five, as
Until Dawn opened with
$8M. That's just shy of
Heart Eyes' $8.3M.
