Here's What We Know

Thanks to rave reviews from critics and the star power of the cast, Sinners grossed a solid $45.6 million in the US, becoming the most successful original film to launch since Jordan Peele's We in 2019.

Outside of the US, Sinners managed to gross $15.4 million, bringing its opening weekend total to $61 million. The film's budget was $90 million, but at this rate, it has every chance of starting to make a profit.

Despite forecasts for a third consecutive weekend of leadership, the Minecraft film lost the top spot, but still showed a strong result, collecting $41.3 million and taking second place, and the film's total worldwide gross exceeded $720 million.
