Ryan Coogler’s Sinners Smashes Box Office, Shocks Fans with Easter Weekend Blockbuster!
In simpler terms, many of Ryan Coogler’s projects have been both critically acclaimed and financially successful, and his most recent film has followed suit by surpassing initial predictions, giving Warner Bros. an exciting Easter surprise.
The movie “Sinners” had initially been expected to gross approximately $40 million over a three-day span at the domestic box office, but following a strong opening day on Friday that brought in over $19.2 million, it was already surpassing these expectations. However, Sunday morning brought an unexpected delight: “Sinners” took the top spot with a whopping $45.6 million domestically.
Warner Bros.’ movie titled “Sinners” dethroned “A Minecraft Movie” from its number one spot on the box office charts, as it grossed approximately $5 million more than the Legendary-Warner Bros. production, which earned an additional $41.3 million in its third week.
Simultaneously, Sinners offered a delightful surprise to Warner Bros., and the vampire film became the eighth time since 2000 that Warner Bros. claimed the number one spot during Easter weekend. Previous chart-toppers include Clash of the Titans in 2010, Batman v. Superman in 2016, Ready Player One and The Curse of La Llorona in 2018, Godzilla v. Kong in 2021, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore in 2022, and Godzilla x Kong in 2024. Sinners currently ranks ninth among all Easter weekend openings. If A Minecraft Movie had remained at the top, Sinners’ box office success could have still been achieved.
As a passionate movie reviewer, I can’t help but express my excitement over two extraordinary films that have captured the hearts of countless cinemagoers. The original masterpiece by Ryan Coogler, aptly titled “Sinners,” and the Minecraft-inspired blockbuster have both left an indelible impact on audiences. It’s a joy to witness such resonance, as we at Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group continue our mission to deliver a diverse range of films that spark conversations and ignite imaginations.

Sinners Had a Great Reception
After its premiere, the highly-acclaimed vampire movie, often praised as Coogler and Michael B. Jordan’s finest collaboration to date, has received an initial rating of 100%. Although this score has since lowered slightly to a remarkable 98%, it remains exceptional. The film garnered a 97% approval from the audience and carries the Certified Fresh and Verified Hot badges, signifying its outstanding quality.
The film’s opening weekend earnings are impressive, given its challenging path to profitability due to its high production cost. Directed by Coogler, this latest project carries a budget of approximately $90-100 million, necessitating around $185 million in box office revenue just to break even. Internationally, the movie raked in an additional $15.4 million over the weekend, bringing its opening total to $61 million. The initial figures, combined with the glowing reviews, indicate that this film has the potential to succeed across all platforms.
Ryan Coogler, known for directing franchises like Creed and Black Panther, mentioned that he aimed to create a standalone story with this film, stepping away from franchise films after some time. He wanted the movie to offer a complete dining experience, including appetizers, main courses, and dessert. In other words, he desired it to be a comprehensive and self-contained piece of work. However, Michael B. Jordan, who played twin roles in the film as Smoke and Stack, hinted that there might still be more to the story.
Sinners is out in theaters.
