Keep scrolling for the deets.

The film debuted at the US box office at #1, beating Jason Momoa’s A Minecraft Movie. Released over the Easter weekend, it beat Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore’s $42.15 million to become the 7th biggest opening weekend during Easter. It is right behind Clash of the Titans’ $61.23 million debut weekend collection.

According to Luiz Fernando‘s report, Ryan Coogler-helmed Sinners earned $3 million more than its initially reported opening weekend of $45.6 million in North America. After the weekend actuals came in, the actual figure surged to $48 million. It has registered the biggest three-day weekend for original horror post-COVID, beating Nope’s $44.4 million. Despite being an original horror, it has beaten horror sequels like Alien Romulus‘ $42 million, Scream VI’s $44.4 million, and A Quiet Place: Part II’s $47.5 million openings.

The movie collected $4.7 million from the Thursday previews, $14.5 million on Friday excluding the previews, $16.5 million on Saturday, and an estimated $12.3 million on Sunday. Therefore, it is only $2 million away from hitting the $50 million mark and will happen by today at the latest.

Sinners opened to $15.5 million at the overseas box office; hence, its global opening collection is $63.5 million. Ryan Coogler directed Sinners, starring Michael B Jordan in dual roles, which was released in the theatres on April 18.
