Box Office: Ryan Coogler's Sinners surpasses The Conjuring and The Conjuring 2, eyes USD 400M global run
Ryan Coogler's Sinners continues its impressive box office momentum, overtaking two of horror's most iconic titles to become one of the genre's top global performers of all time. The supernatural horror film has grossed USD 336.6 million globally, surpassing the worldwide totals of The Conjuring (USD 320.4M) and The Conjuring 2 (USD 322.2M). With this milestone, Sinners now ranks as the 15th highest-grossing horror film worldwide and is set to leap into the 14th spot soon by overtaking A Quiet Place (USD 341M).
Starring Michael B. Jordan in dual roles, Sinners added USD 4.4 million from international markets over its sixth weekend, with a 22.2 percent increase from the previous weekend, bringing its overseas total to USD 80 million across 71 territories. In the US, the film has amassed a robust USD 256.6 million. Industry projections now place its global total well past the USD 350 million mark, with a final tally likely to peak between USD 380 million and USD 400 million, making it one of the most successful original horror films in recent years.
Directed, written, and produced by Coogler, Sinners is set in 1932 Mississippi and follows two criminal brothers—both played by Jordan—who return to their hometown seeking redemption, only to confront a sinister supernatural force awaiting them. The film also stars Wunmi Mosaku, Hailee Steinfeld, Delroy Lindo, Jack O'Connell, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller, and Miles Caton.
Coogler began developing the project under his Proximity Media banner in early 2024. A competitive bidding war ensued for distribution rights, with Warner Bros. emerging as the winner in February. Principal photography took place from April to July 2024, with longtime Coogler collaborator Ludwig Göransson composing the score and serving as executive producer.
Sinners premiered in US theaters on April 18 and received widespread critical acclaim for its unique blend of music, horror, and historical drama. With a production budget of USD 90 million excluding marketing, the film has become not just a commercial hit but also a critical and cultural standout in 2025.
As it climbs higher in the ranks of horror box office history, Sinners solidifies the power of Coogler and Jordan's collaboration as a visionary filmmaker and a versatile actor.

Dark tourism expert reveals chilling details amid Annabelle doll's vanishing rumours, ‘We may be dealing with…'
Amidst fears and speculations over Annabelle's US tour, one specialist in dark tourism has uncovered the eerie past of the 'demonically possessed' doll. Horror enthusiasts went into a frenzy last week following rumors that the haunting doll vanished during her ongoing '2025 Devils on the Run Tour.' Annabelle and other ghostly items have been on display for fans throughout the US during this tour. The renowned Raggedy Ann doll has appeared in several iconic horror films, including Annabelle and The Conjuring. Following her track record of evil behavior, many followers were terrified to learn that she had reportedly been lost during her transportation in New Orleans, Louisiana. Also Read: Elon Musk's viral 'hallucinating' video sparks buzz on social media; 'Somebody clocked him' Rumors circulated that Annabelle disappeared during a sold-out event held at the Ghost City Tours office in New Orleans from May 13 to May 14. Ten prisoners fled from the Orleans Justice Center, and a fire erupted at the Nottoway Plantation. The origin of the fire is still unknown. Many horror enthusiasts assumed Annabelle was responsible for this series of frightening incidents. Matthew Bartels, a content strategist for US Ghost Adventures and an expert in the dark tourism sector, discussed this strange coincidence with The Mirror US, saying: 'Her disappearance raises many questions about her true capabilities following the chaos that ensued as she visited New Orleans.' 'The Warrens warned the general public to never let her leave her case. Now that she has, we may be dealing with greater paranormal powers than we are prepared for,' Bartels added. Annabelle's caregivers have since refuted these speculations, but horror enthusiasts have recently developed a renewed interest in her past. While Robert the Doll is the most notorious haunted doll in the world, Annabelle ranked at second, as per the US Ghost Adventures website. According to reports by US Ghost Adventures, the main target of Annabelle's fury was Donna's friend Lou, who felt uncomfortable in its presence. 'Notes to Lou were left on scraps of parchment paper despite neither Donna nor Angie ever having any on hand. Things escalated when Annabelle physically assaulted Lou, scratching him across the chest as she tried to strangle him.'

Bills QB Josh Allen and actor Hailee Steinfeld marry in Southern California
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and actor Hailee Steinfeld tied the knot on Saturday, according to multiple media reports. Pictures emerged from the power couple's wedding that took place in Southern California, where both Allen and Steinfeld live. Photos obtained by 'People' magazine show Steinfeld, in a white strapless gown, walking down the aisle as well as the couple sharing a kiss. The timing and location of the wedding were closely guarded secrets, though Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins let the cat out of the bag in March by revealing the date as May 31. He later backtracked, saying he didn't know anything. Despite the pending wedding, Allen was present for the start of the Bills voluntary series of spring practices, which opened on Tuesday. The Bills return to practice on Monday, though Allen isn't scheduled to address the media until the Bills open their mandatory sessions on June 10. Allen, who turned 29 last week, and the 28-year-old Steinfeld were engaged during the Bills bye week in November, when the quarterback proposed on a California cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The two were first linked in the spring of 2023, when they were photographed dining together in New York City. Steinfeld has since begun attending Bills home games and the couple was inseparable at the NFL Awards ceremony in February, when Allen credited Steinfeld upon accepting the league's MVP honor. Allen followed suit in April in being spotted with Steinfeld arriving for an after-party following premier of the movie 'Sinners,' which stars Steinfeld. Steinfeld began her acting career at the age of 10, and earned an Oscar nomination for best supporting actress for her role as Mattie Ross in the Coen brothers' 2010 remake of 'True Grit.' Allen is entering his eighth NFL season. In March, he signed a contract extension worth $330 million.
