    Box Office: Sinners Hits $200M, Minecraft Climbs to $900M Worldwide

    Warner Bros. is celebrating a major weekend at the box office as two of its biggest 2025 releases—Sinners and A Minecraft Movie—cross impressive milestones.

    Sinners, the supernatural thriller from director Ryan Coogler and star Michael B. Jordan, has officially surpassed $200 million domestically. After ending Friday at $199.8 million, the film is expected to cross the benchmark by Saturday.

    In its fourth weekend, the R-rated genre-bender continues to attract audiences thanks to strong word-of-mouth and critical acclaim. Jordan plays dual roles as twin brothers in 1930s Jim Crow-era South, where they confront a mysterious evil linked to a juke joint they’ve purchased.

    Despite early doubts about its commercial prospects, the $80 million film has become a breakout success, performing well across Black, Latino, and white audiences. It’s another major win for Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group heads Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy, who’ve supported bold auteur projects amid industry skepticism.

    Meanwhile, A Minecraft Movie has now dug up more than $900 million at the global box office, making it the top-grossing video game adaptation of the year so far, and the second-highest ever—behind only

    The Super Mario Bros. Movie ($1.33 billion). The film, co-financed by Legendary and produced by Vertigo’s Chris Lee, is fast approaching the $1 billion milestone and has firmly launched a new franchise.

    Marvel Studios also enjoyed a strong weekend with Thunderbolts*, which is showing one of the smallest second-weekend drops in MCU history. The ensemble film led by Florence Pugh and Sebastian Stan is expected to earn over $35 million in its second frame, with global earnings climbing past $200 million.

    As it stands, Minecraft leads the 2025 global box office, followed by Marvel’s Captain America: Brave New World ($416 million) and Sinners ($250.8 million). Updated figures and final weekend tallies will be released Sunday morning.

  • Thunderbolts Opens at #1 with $76M — Critics Call It Marvel’s Best in Years

    Thunderbolts Opens at #1 with $76M — Critics Call It Marvel’s Best in Years

    The summer box office season has officially begun, and Marvel’s Thunderbolts leads the way. The latest Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movie opened with $76 million in North America, making it the top film of the weekend.

    It also received high praise from critics, with an 88% Certified Fresh rating — the best for an MCU movie since Spider-Man: No Way Home.

    Although Thunderbolts made less than some past Marvel openings, its strong reception gives the studio hope for better results ahead.

    The film will soon pass The Marvels’ entire domestic earnings. However, it still trails Captain America: Brave New World, which opened with $88.8 million.

    Meanwhile, Ryan Coogler’s Sinners continues its successful run. It earned $33 million in its third weekend and has now made nearly $180 million in North America.

    Sinners (2025 Film)

    With steady momentum, the film could reach $275 million or more, despite having a smaller international total.

    A Minecraft Movie is also performing well. It added $13.7 million this weekend, bringing its domestic total to over $398 million. The film is expected to pass $400 million this week and may reach the $1 billion mark globally soon.

    Other films in the top 10 include The Accountant 2, Until Dawn, and The Amateur. While some sequels are underperforming, lower-budget projects like Until Dawn are on track to make a modest profit.

    ‘Sinners’ Continues Strong Box Office Run with Huge Monday Earnings

    Warner Bros.’ period horror film Sinners had an impressive Monday performance, earning $7.8 million, marking the second-best Monday ever for an R-rated horror movie.

    The only film to outperform Sinners on a Monday in this category is 2017’s It, which earned $8.76 million. Sinners also ranks as the third-best Monday overall for a horror film, following A Quiet Place Part II, which grossed $9.5 million during Memorial Day.

    The film outperformed World War Z’s Monday, which made $7.6 million, and even surpassed Warner Bros.’ own Beetlejuice’s first Monday, which grossed $6.2 million after a $111 million opening.

    As of now, Sinners has earned a cumulative total of $55.8 million in the U.S., with a global take of $75.5 million.

    In addition to its strong Monday numbers, Sinners saw a 31% boost in business on Tuesday, rising to $11.4 million. This follows the typical pattern of increased viewership on discount Tuesdays, with other films like Us and Get Out also showing similar gains in their first weeks.

    The film’s strong performance is being driven by premium formats, such as IMAX and PLF (Premium Large Formats), which make up around 45% of its $48 million opening weekend gross.

    Notably, Sinners was shot using IMAX cameras, a feature that has drawn significant attention from audiences seeking the best possible viewing experience. The film earned $9.11 million from IMAX screens alone last weekend.
