2025 is starting to look like Sinners‘ year.

The Ryan Coogler-directed smash hit has been deservedly dominating the entertainment news since it opened on April 18th, not only because of its overwhelmingly positive reviews and near-perfect audience ratings, but because raking in phenomenal returns at the box office. Despite some early articles attempting to downplay the film’s success, Sinners’ second week silenced a lot of naysayers.

In fact, Sinners, which stars Michael B. Jordan in a dual role as twins opening a juke joint in 1932 Mississippi, scored an outstanding $45 million this past weekend, which is only a 6% decline from its $48 million opening. The film is already getting early Oscar buzz and looks to be a major plus for Warner Bros’ non-franchise films.

Hollywood Reporter notes that this is one of the smallest second weekend drops in the history of cinema for a movie playing outside the year-end holidays. This is also significant as it is the smallest second-weekend drop for any film opening north of $40 million since 2009’s Avatar and the smallest ever for an R-rated film and/or a horror film.

So far, Sinners has grossed $123.2 million domestically, and $163.2 million around the world. The audience demographics changed slightly week to week as well, as females ticket-buyers made up half the audience in week two. men were 56 percent of all opening weekend ticket buyers.

This weekend’s runner up winner at the box office also made the news, as Disney’s 20th anniversary re-release of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge Of The Sith beat out recent release The Accountant 2 for second place this weekend. That’s one of the top opening weekends ever for a re-release, according to THR. The Ben Affleck vehicle took in $25 million in its sophomore outing and landed at third place for the week.
