And the sorpasso was consumed. ‘The sinners’ has managed to overcome in North America the hitherto unbeatable ‘a Minecraft movie’ thanks above all to the excellent reviews he was receiving as the days passed and people approached to see her to the cinema. Boca to mouth has had an effect, and the creation of Ryan Coogler (he has exercised as a screenwriter and director) has reaped 45.6 million dollars in its premiere weekend.
Let’s break up everything that is a figure. For example, This is the best debut of an original film from the pandemic. You have to go back to 2019, with the 71 million that another horror movie like ‘We’ obtained, to see a better result. Has also become The ninth best premiere on Easter weekend. And even so, in Warner Bros they still do not guarantee their financial profitability, since it has A 90 million budget Not counting marketing.
In part, those doubts come from a less enthusiastic international box office than at domestic level, raising 15.4 million for a total of 61. However, the good reception of the public will help in the coming weeks to be closer to the objectives set by Warner.
Speaking of Warner Bros., the company also cups the second place of the ranking with the 41.3 million dollars Achieved by ‘A Minecraft movie’ in its third week in Salas. Nothing to worry about in this case, because the benefits are already more than consolidated: the tape starring Jason Momoa and Jack Black cost 150 million and already has 344 in North America and 721 in total.
Close the podium ‘The King of Kings’, animation tape on the life of Jesus Christ who has taken advantage of these dates to knead a good amount of money. In just two weeks it takes 45 million collected dollars, 17 of which has achieved them this weekend. Far from the first three we run into ‘Amateur’ and its 6.8 million, with which it reaches 27 million in North America and 64 globally. Taking into account that the film starring Rami Malek cost Disney 60 million, everything indicates that His passage through Salas will end in red numbers.
In fifth position we find ‘Warfare: War Time’, Alex Garland’s new movie for A24, with 4.8 million dollars and 17.8 in the accumulated of his first two weeks at the box office. The history of the Iraq war is not interested in the American spectator as well as that of a civil war in the US. A little over a year ago, ‘Civil War’, also from Garland, and only in his debut he reaped 25.5 million dollars.
More terror next weekend
Will he continue leading the box office ‘The sinners’ in his second week or ‘A Minecraft movie’ will recover what the previous two has belonged to him? ‘Until Dawn’, the adaptation of the popular horror video game, will try to open a third way on the weekend prior to ‘Thunderbolts*’. Together with ‘Until Dawn’ we will have ‘the accountant 2’, ‘The Shrourds’, ‘The Legends of Ochi’, ‘Bears On a Ship’, ‘Skill House’, ‘Love in four letters’ and ‘Cheech & Chong’s last movie’.
