At this point, can anything slow down Sinners? Even with Thunderbolts* out, Coogler's hit film raked in another $43M+ worldwide!
The film is a clear example that even the experts sometimes get it wrong, as there were questions about the film's profitability during its first weekend of release.
Another fact in the film's favor is that it will be returning to IMAX theaters after Thunderbolts* concludes its two-week run on the specialty format screens.
If Sinners continues to post minimal week-to-week drop-offs, it's on pace to end its theatrical run just shy of—or possibly surpassing—the $400 million global mark.
That’s a remarkable turnaround, especially given early industry chatter suggesting the R-rated horror film, with its $90 million production budget, wouldn’t be profitable despite glowing reviews.
With a breakeven point estimated around $230 million, Sinners is now poised to leave that figure far behind.
Touted as the first must-see film of 2025, Sinners continues to exceed expectations, with its final box office total still difficult to pin down as it defies traditional trends.
About Sinners:
The night belongs to sinners. Only in theaters April 18.
Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers (Jordan) return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.
