Ryan Coogler’s latest horror movie Sinners is continuing its winning streak at the box office. The film is making headlines with its strong performance, especially on its third Tuesday, which is often a crucial day for film earnings due to ticket discounts. This past Tuesday, Sinners collected $4.1 million in North America, beating out the third Tuesday earnings of Joker, which had made $3.8 million back in 2019.
This impressive figure puts Sinners among the top third Tuesday earners for R-rated movies, coming in just behind Oppenheimer ($4.4 million) and Deadpool & Wolverine ($7.2 million). It has also outperformed A Minecraft Movie, making it the fourth biggest third Tuesday for an April release.
As of now, Sinners has earned $186.9 million in the United States alone, and is just a few million away from passing A Quiet Place’s $188 million domestic total. This would make it the sixth highest-grossing horror film of all time in North America.
Despite losing IMAX screens to Marvel’s new movie Thunderbolts*, Sinners continues to hold strong at the box office. The film is showing only a -40.6% drop from the previous Tuesday, which is considered a good sign for its longevity in theaters.
Budget vs. Earnings: A Huge Win
Sinners was made on a budget of $90 million, and it has already earned 2.7 times that amount, making it one of the most profitable films of the year. The movie is not just doing well in the US. Internationally, it has brought in $57.5 million, bringing its worldwide box office collection to a massive $244.6 million. It is expected to cross $250 million globally by this weekend.
What’s Next?
Box office analysts believe that Sinners will hit the $200 million mark domestically this weekend, a major milestone for any original horror film. If this trend continues, the film could finish its North American run with anywhere between $250 million and $280 million.
Release Date and More
Directed by Ryan Coogler, who is known for blockbuster hits like Black Panther, Sinners was released in theaters on April 18, 2025. The film has captured the audience’s attention with its original horror storyline, something that’s rare in today’s age of sequels and remakes.
With its strong performance and audience buzz, Sinners is shaping up to be one of the biggest horror movie hits in recent years, both critically and commercially.
