Box Office: Ryan Coogler's Sinners defies odds with USD 8.8M sixth weekend, US total crosses 250 million
Ryan Coogler's supernatural horror film Sinners continued its impressive box office run during the competitive Memorial Day weekend, showing remarkable resilience in its sixth frame of release. Despite a significant reduction of 886 theaters, the film pulled in a strong USD 8.8 million over the three-day weekend, marking just a 41.8 percent drop from the previous Fri-Sun stretch.
This performance places Sinners among the top performers for a sixth weekend in several categories. It posted the third-biggest six three-day weekends ever for R-rated films, surpassing Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer, which earned USD 8.2 million in its sixth weekend. Only The Passion of the Christ (USD 10.6 million) and Deadpool & Wolverine (USD 15.5 million) rank higher in this category. For April releases, Sinners holds the fourth-biggest sixth weekend, trailing behind The Super Mario Bros. Movie (USD 12.6 million), The Jungle Book (USD 10.9 million), and Avengers: Infinity War (USD 10.5 million), but ahead of Avengers: Endgame (USD 8 million).
Since its release on April 18 by Warner Bros. Pictures, Sinners has amassed a cumulative USD 256.6 million domestically, firmly securing its position as a blockbuster. Globally, the film has grossed USD 339 million, making it the sixth-highest-grossing film of 2025 so far.
Written, produced, and directed by Coogler, Sinners follows criminal twin brothers Smoke and Stack — both played by Michael B. Jordan — in the 1930s, who return to their hometown in the Mississippi Delta in hopes of a chance at redemption. They, however, are hit by the biggest plot twist of their lives when they encounter a malevolent spirit awaiting them.
The film also stars Wunmi Mosaku, Miles Caton, Jack O'Connell, Hailee Steinfeld, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller, and Delroy Lindo.
Coogler developed the project through his production company, Proximity Media, starting in January 2024, with Jordan, his longtime collaborator, joining the project shortly thereafter. Following an intense bidding war, Warner Bros. Pictures secured distribution rights in February 2024. Principal photography took place between April and July of the same year, with longtime collaborator Ludwig Göransson composing the score and serving as executive producer.
Looking ahead, Sinners is conservatively projected to reach around USD 280 million domestically, though its future performance will depend on the impact of further theater drops.
Sinners will also move to digital on June 3, meaning it has one more weekend to entertain the masses.

Cardi B Goes Instagram Official With Stefon Diggs Amid Ongoing Divorce From Offset
Cardi B has made her relationship with NFL star Stefon Diggs official on Instagram. The rapper shared a series of photos from their Memorial Day weekend getaway in Miami, Florida. One of the pictures shows Cardi posing on a yacht in a black one-piece swimsuit, while another features her and Diggs leaning in for a kiss with her leg draped over his. She captioned the slideshow, 'Chapter 5……Hello Chapter six,' referring to the months of the year. This post marks the first time she shared photos of Diggs directly on her Instagram grid. The couple first sparked dating rumors back in February 2025 after being spotted on a Valentine's Day date in Miami. They were later seen attending a Met Gala afterparty in May and sitting courtside at a New York Knicks playoff game, which marked their first public appearance together. Earlier in May, Stefon Diggs also included Cardi B in his own photo dump on Instagram, adding to the speculation. Their recent Memorial Day weekend trip seemed to celebrate six months of dating. In the Instagram post, Cardi B shared several glamorous moments from the trip, including a video of her twerking in a hot tub, clips of red rose bouquets, and shots of her showing off diamond jewelry and a bright blue Birkin bag. One video showed her singing in an elevator, while another captured her with pink and blonde curls getting ready with her glam team. However, the trip was also linked to a recent viral video of Stefon Diggs partying on a yacht surrounded by women, reportedly during the same weekend. The video showed him handling a bag with an unknown substance, which could potentially affect his status with the New England Patriots. Cardi B's relationship update comes while she is in the middle of a divorce from her estranged husband, Offset. The couple secretly married in 2017 and have three children: Kulture, 6, Wave, 3, and Blossom, born in September 2024. Offset is now seeking spousal support and has requested 'everything' in the divorce proceedings, which led Cardi to share a fiery rant on social media. Cardi B accused Offset of harassment and claimed he has made threats during the legal battle. Despite the ongoing drama, she has chosen to move forward and publicly share her new chapter with Stefon Diggs.

Ryan Coogler says he has no plans for ‘Sinners' sequel
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) After the blockbuster success of 'Sinners', the fans of this horror-drama have been earnestly hoping for its sequel as per the current trend in the film industry. The director of the movie, Ryan Coogler , has now expressed his intentions of not making a sequel to the movie, reported Variety. In a recent interview with Ebony Magazine, as quoted by Variety, Coogler, who has helmed mega-franchise blockbusters like 'Black Panther' and 'Creed,' said he "never" thought about making a follow-up to his enormously successful vampire thriller, 'Sinners'. The director shared the inspiration behind his movie while highlighting that his "intention" was always to make a "holistic and finished" thing. "I've been in a space of making franchise films for a bit, so I wanted to get away from that. I was looking forward to working on a film that felt original and personal to me and had an appetite for delivering something to audiences that was original and unique," said Coogler as quoted by Variety. He continued, "I wanted the movie to feel like a full meal: your appetisers, starters, entrees and desserts, I wanted all of it there. I wanted it to be a holistic and finished thing. That was how I was asked all about it. That was always my intention," as quoted by Variety. In a recent sit-down with Variety, Coogler elaborated on how "Sinners" perfectly aligns with his favourite type of movies. While talking about 'Sinners', the director said, "This film is very much me. I love anything supernatural. I'm in. I like stories about communities, about neighbourhoods, about archetypes. And I love period anything. So, when you layer those things together, that does it for me," as quoted by Variety. According to the outlet, 'Sinners' recently crossed 350 million USD at the global box office, which places the movie in the top 10 highest-grossing movies of the year. The film follows brothers Smoke and Stack, both played by frequent Coogler collaborator Michael B. Jordan. As the enterprising twins return to their home in Mississippi to open a music hall, they find their new business under siege by a horde of vampires. Other members of the expansive cast include Miles Caton, Hailee Steinfeld, Delroy Lindo, Jack O'Connell, Andrene Ward-Hammond, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller and more.
