Cinema films kissed “sin” during the Easter weekend.
“Sinners”, the highly anticipated period drama offering a mixture of horror, music and vampires, marked a solid opening, at the top of the holiday box office with $ 45.6 million. The film classified R featuring Michael B. Jordan delighted the criticisms and the public who rewarded him with a classification “A” on Cinemascore.
Second place was “a Minecraft film”, which continued its high performance by earning $ 41.3 million the total of three weeks of $ 344.6 million.
The one-two punch of “A Minecraft Movie” and “Sinners” contributed 64% of the weekend box office, which was excellent news for Warner Bros., the studio behind the two films.
“While we continue to strive to bring a range of movie films to moviegoers, we are delighted to see how (director) the original film of Ryan Coogler '` Sinners' 'and a film based on the favorite fans' game, resonated with the public in the stellar way, “said Mike de Luca de Warner Bros. Bros. Bros.meg Picle Group in a declaration.
“Sinners” also marks the last triumph for Jordan's and Coogler's partnership. The two joined forces for the first time in 2013 for “Fruitvale Station” and gathered for the “Rocky” restart of 2015 “Creed” and the Marvel Epic “Black Panther” superproduction.
The film marks the first round of director of coogling since “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” of 2022.

A few days before its release, “Sinners” already made the headlines with reports on the film 100% on Rotten Tomatoes (his last score is 98%). Its success already triggers the price buzz.
It is also the first film to be shot with the IMAX cameras since the winner of the Oscars in 2023 by Christopher Nolan, “Oppenheimer”. Coogler had strongly promoted the format, encouraging moviegoers to see “sinners” in Imax sites.
