Can anything stop Sinners? It doesn’t look like it. Even with competition from Thunderbolts, Ryan Coogler‘s hit film raked in another $43 million+ worldwide, continuing its reign at the box office.
The film’s success is a clear reminder that sometimes, even the so-called experts get it wrong. Early on, there were doubts about its profitability, but Sinners has proven them all wrong.
The film, which boasts a $90 million production budget, has consistently defied expectations and silenced any critics who questioned its potential.
Initially, industry insiders raised concerns about its profitability, especially considering its R-rated horror genre. However, glowing reviews and word-of-mouth have propelled the movie to unexpected heights, with its week-to-week box office drop-offs remaining minimal.
Currently, Sinners is on track to end its theatrical run just shy of—or possibly surpassing—the $400 million global mark. That’s a monumental turnaround, especially when you consider that the film’s breakeven point was estimated at around $230 million.
Sinners will be returning to IMAX theaters after Thunderbolts concludes its two-week run in the specialty format. With more fans flocking to see it on the big screen, the film’s final box office total is still tough to predict, especially as it continues to outperform expectations.
