Box Office: Sinners earns USD 1.1M on 6th Wednesday, surpasses Joker and Oppenheimer among R-rated films
Ryan Coogler's supernatural horror film Sinners continues to defy expectations at the US box office, posting a strong USD 1.1 million on its sixth Wednesday. Despite a significant 40.5 percent drop from the previous Wednesday and losing a harsh 886 theaters on Friday, Sinners achieved the second biggest sixth Wednesday ever for an R-rated film. It surpassed major hits like Joker, Oppenheimer, and Deadpool & Wolverine, all of which had made under USD 1 million at the same point in their run. Sinners only trailed behind The Passion of the Christ, which recorded USD 1.3 million on its sixth Wednesday. Sinners also ranks as the third biggest sixth Wednesday for April releases, holding strong alongside heavyweights like Infinity War (USD 1.1M, -26.7 percent) and The Super Mario Bros. Movie (USD 1.1M, -45.5 percent). The film's resilience is notable given the increasing competition and its impending digital release, which has impacted the number of cinemas housing the film. Nevertheless, the horror mega hit has already amassed a domestic cumulative gross of USD 261 million and is expected to reach around USD 280 million in the US, contingent on how the market acts over the weekend. Set in 1932 in the Mississippi Delta, Sinners stars Michael B. Jordan in dual roles as criminal brothers Smoke and Stack, who return to their hometown to start a fresh life but face a haunting evil instead. The ensemble cast includes Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton, Jack O'Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller, and Delroy Lindo, contributing to the film's rich and suspenseful narrative. Coogler produced, wrote, and directed the film. He began developing Sinners through his production company Proximity Media in early 2024 before Warner Bros. Pictures snagged the distribution rights after an intense bidding war. Principal photography took place between April and July of the same year. The film's haunting score was composed by longtime Coogler collaborator Ludwig Göransson, who also served as an executive producer. Released stateside on April 18, Sinners has received widespread critical acclaim for its atmospheric storytelling, strong performances, and innovative blend of historical drama, musical evil, and suspense. Globally, the film has grossed an impressive USD 341 million, making it the seventh highest-grossing film of 2025 so far. With Sinners continuing to perform steadily in its sixth week, it has firmly established itself as a major box office phenomenon, proving that well-crafted horror with a compelling narrative can even dominate in a crowded market.

Box Office: Sinners defies theater slump with USD 2.4M Memorial Day haul, tops April release chart
Ryan Coogler's supernatural horror title Sinners continues to make waves at the US box office, delivering a strong USD 2.4 million on Memorial Day Monday. This impressive figure marks the biggest sixth Monday for any April release ever, showing a 20.5 percent increase from the previous Monday despite a significant loss of 886 theaters on Friday. The movie's resilience despite reduced screens highlights its enduring popularity and stable audience appeal. At USD 2.4 million, Sinners also claims the title of the second biggest sixth Monday ever for an R-rated film. It outperformed Oppenheimer (USD 900K), Joker (USD 1.3 million), and The Passion of the Christ (USD 1.4 million), trailing only behind Deadpool and Wolverine's USD 4.1 million on their sixth Monday. The film's remarkable box office run has placed it firmly at the top of the April release charts, beating out major movies such as The Jungle Book (USD 1.2 million), Infinity War (USD 1.2 million), The Super Mario Bros. Movie (USD 990K), and Endgame (USD 870K) for their respective sixth Mondays. Since its theatrical debut on April 18, Sinners has amassed a cumulative gross of USD 258.8 million domestically. Industry experts remain cautiously optimistic, projecting a potential total US gross of around USD 280 million. However, with the recent drop in theaters due to an impending digital release and rising competition from new releases, the film's final box office trajectory remains to be seen. Sinners is produced, written, and directed by Coogler. Set in 1932 in the Mississippi Delta, the film stars Michael B. Jordan in dual roles as criminal twin brothers Smoke and Stack, who return to their hometown seeking a fresh start but find themselves confronted by a mysterious supernatural force. The cast also features Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Carter, Jack O'Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller, and Delroy Lindo. Development of Sinners began in early 2024 through Coogler's production company, Proximity Media, with Jordan already cast in the lead role. Following a competitive bidding war, Warner Bros. Pictures secured the title's distribution rights, letting principal photography kickstart. Renowned composer Ludwig Göransson, a frequent Coogler collaborator, scored the film and also served as an executive producer. Critically acclaimed for its blend of supernatural horror and historical drama, as well as its music, Sinners has become a commercial touchstone. With a worldwide gross of USD 388 million, it stands as the seventh highest-grossing movie of 2025, solidifying Coogler's reputation as a versatile director and Jordan's as a very capable actor.

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.

Box Office: Sinners crushes records with USD 1.8M 5th Wednesday, eyes USD 280M plus domestic mark amid delayed digital release
Ryan Coogler's supernatural horror epic Sinners continues its powerful theatrical run, pulling in a staggering USD 1.8 million on its fifth Wednesday, marking the second biggest fifth Wednesday ever for an R-rated film at the domestic box office. The Michael B. Jordan starrer now stands at a USD 246.4 million U.S. cume and is projected to cross the USD 250 million mark as early as Friday in the States. The fifth-week midweek performance places Sinners just behind The Super Mario Bros. Movie (USD 2M) as the second-biggest fifth Wednesday ever for an April release, a remarkable feat considering the film's genre and rating. Even more impressive is the fact that it tops previous R-rated benchmarks set by Oppenheimer (USD 1.3M), The Passion of the Christ (USD 1.6M), and Deadpool & Wolverine (USD 1.6M). The tight 20.8 percent drop from the previous Wednesday showcases the film's strong legs, bolstered by stellar word of mouth and limited competition before the Memorial Day weekend. The decision to postpone the film's digital release to June 3 has given it added presence in theaters, where it recently wrapped up its IMAX run. Directed, produced, and written by Coogler, Sinners is set in 1932 Mississippi and follows twin criminal brothers, Smoke and Stack — both portrayed by Jordan — who return to their hometown to start new lives but confront an ancient evil force instead. The ensemble cast includes Hailee Steinfeld, Wunmi Mosaku, Delroy Lindo, and Jayme Lawson. Ludwig Göransson, a frequent Coogler collaborator, composed the score and also served as an executive producer. Developed by Coogler's Proximity Media, the film was picked up by Warner Bros. Pictures after a heated bidding war. Shot from April to July 2024, Sinners debuted stateside on April 18 to widespread critical acclaim and has since grossed USD 321 million worldwide, making it the sixth-highest-grossing film of the year globally. With a current trajectory pointing to a USD 280 million domestic finish, and possibly more depending on theater retention and continued audience interest. Sinners is not only Coogler's latest success but also one of the most lucrative original horror films in recent memory.
