Ryan Coogler’s Sinners starring Michael B. Jordan opens this weekend and will have a box office battle with Minecraft in its third weekend.
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?
Ryan Coogler’s Sinners is estimated to open anywhere from a low of $30 million, which seems unlikely, to a high of $45 million. Who knows? Maybe more.
A Minecraft Movie should also bring in another $40M-45M following its $78.5M second weekend and record-setting opening of $162.7M. The flick starring Jack Black and Jason Momoa that has all the teens razzled recently crossed the half-billion dollar mark and is at $291M domestically and over $565M worldwide.
What is the Sinners Rotten Tomatoes Score?
At one time, it was at 100%, but now, with one negative review out of the 105 reviews, Sinners currently has a Rotten Tomatoes score of 99%. Sinners is currently Coogler’s best-reviewed movie, ahead of Black Panther (96%), Creed (95%), Fruitvale Station (94%), and Wakanda Forever (84%).
What does the negative review say?
The lone negative review comes from EskimoTV who says:
Sinners ends with a powerful, surreal bang—but its slow buildup left me restless. A unique vision from Coogler, but whether the destination is worth the wait depends on your patience.
What do the positive reviews say?
