Michael B. Jordan and director Ryan Coogler are sinking their teeth into the box office once again. Their new horror movie “Sinners” has made $4.7 million in Thursday previews at the box office so far.
The R-rated vampire thriller is expected to make between $45 million to $50 million in its opening weekend. Some projections are even higher than $50 million, with Warner Bros. offering a softer range of $35 million to $40 million. With another $10 million to $15 million at the international box office, “Sinners” should bring in a scary good haul in its first weekend.
After misfiring with Robert De Niro’s gangster movie “The Alto Knights” and director Bong Joon Ho’s sci-fi “Mickey 17,” Warner Bros. has two back-to-back hits on its hands. “A Minecraft Movie” is the year’s highest-grossing movie, with $283 million domestically and $557 million globally. It broke records for the biggest opening for a video game movie ever (previously held by “The Super Mario Bros. Movie”) and should be the first billion-dollar blockbuster of 2025. After dominating the box office for the past two weeks, “Minecraft” is looking to make $40 million to $45 million in its third weekend.
In “Sinners,” Jordan plays Smoke and Stack, two twin brothers who return to their hometown in the South after World War I only to discover a vampiric evil lurking about. The cast includes Hailee Steinfeld, Delroy Lindo, Jack O’Connell, Wunmi Mosaku and more. Jordan has now appeared in all five of Coogler’s films, “Fruitvale Station,” “Creed” and the two “Black Panther” movies.
