Sinners Takes Down Minecraft at Box Office

This weekend sees the release of Ryan Coogler’s film, titled “Sinners“, featuring Michael B. Jordan. It is expected to engage in a box office struggle with “Minecraft” in its third week.

Regardless who comes out on top, it’s a big win for Warner Bros., the studio behind both films.

Sinners also has the benefit of a huge Rotten Tomatoes score.

What are the box office estimates?

According to predictions, Ryan Coogler’s movie titled “Sinners” could potentially debut anywhere between a modest estimate of $30 million and a maximum of $45 million. There’s even speculation that it might open for a higher amount.

The Minecraft film, which has been a hit among teenagers with stars like Jack Black and Jason Momoa, should earn an additional $40 million to $45 million in its second weekend, building on its record-breaking opening of $162.7 million. Already surpassing the half-billion dollar mark, it currently stands at $291 million domestically and over $565 million globally.

What is the Sinners Rotten Tomatoes Score?

Initially, the movie ‘Sinners’ received a perfect score of 100%, but following one unfavorable review out of a total of 105, its current Rotten Tomatoes rating stands at an impressive 99%. At present, ‘Sinners’ is Coogler’s highest-rated film, surpassing ‘Black Panther’ (96%), ‘Creed’ (95%), ‘Fruitvale Station’ (94%), and ‘Wakanda Forever’ (84%) in terms of critical acclaim.

What does the negative review say?

The lone negative review comes from EskimoTV who says:

The climax of Sinners packs a potent, dreamlike punch, yet its gradual development kept me on edge. It’s an unusual perspective from Coogler, but whether the end justifies the wait hinges on your level of tolerance for patience.
