Sinners’ second weekend burns through box office for consecutive win

Sinners’ second weekend at the box office was very impressive. The film raked in another $44 million to bring its domestic total to $92 million. If estimates early Sunday are conservative, there’s a chance that Sinners could earn $100 million by Monday.

Even more impressive was Sinners’ second weekend dropped a mere 8 percent from its opening weekend tally of $48 million. Sinners’ second weekend drop isn’t unprecedented, but it is rare.

Crazy Rich Asians had a good $26.5 million opening and only lost 6.4% of its debut for a $24.8 million second weekend.

This is easily the best second weekend of director/writer Ryan Coogler’s career. In 2008, Black Panther had a massive $202 million opening and dropped a still solid 44.7% for a strong second weekend of $117 million.

Its 2023 sequel, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, opened to $181 million and had a second weekend of $66.4 million for a 63.3% drop. Creed opened in 2016 to $29.6 million and had a 48.4% drop in its second weekend with $15 million.

Sinner is now easily on track to make $200 million. With Sinners’ second weekend haul, it’s now the fifth highest grossing film of 2025 trailing Dogman by $5 million. It’s likely by next weekend it should come close or surpass Mufasa: The Lion King ($126 million for the year despite its Dec. 20 release).

In second place was The Accountant 2 with $25 million. The film earned an A- CinemaScore suggesting word of mouth should be strong with it over the coming weeks. Despite the lengthy delay, the first film opened in 2016, audiences were ready for the next chapter of the Ben Affleck, Jon Bernthal adventures.

“The Accountant 2,” which earned a $9.4 million opening day from 3,610 theaters and is projected to meet pre-release estimates with a $25 million opening weekend. Reception for the sequel to the 2016 Ben Affleck action film has been p

In third place was the re-release of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary. The film earned a strong $23.5 million. That takes Sith’s overall haul to $400 million domestically.

Some lucky fans even got some special guests at their screening.

A Minecraft Movie is still holding up well with another $20 million in its fourth weekend to take the Warner Bros./Legendary’s film’s domestic tally to $375 million.

In fifth place is Until Dawn, a very loose adaptation of the video game with $7 million. The film had a meager budget of $15 million, but its CinemaScore was a C+ suggesting this won’t be a player in the Top 5 next week.
