Ryan Coogler‘s genre-bending Sinners continues to bare sharp teeth in its fourth weekend, thanks to golden word-of-mouth that few films enjoy.

In its latest milestone, Sinners has crossed the $200 million mark at the domestic office after finishing Friday with a cume of $199.8 million. The supernatural vampire pic is another coup for Coolger, the bold and audacious filmmaker behind the Black Panther and Creed franchises. Sinners‘ actor Michael B. Jordan has starred in all five of his movies. Through Sunday, the pic’s domestic total is an estimated $214.9 million; globally, it has grossed $283.3 million.

This weekend is a notable double win for Warner Bros. Motion group co-chairs Michael Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy as A Minecraft Movie — the second-top grossing video adaptation of all time, not adjusted for inflation — jumps the $900 million mark globally to make Minecraft and Sinners the top two grossing films of the year so far domestically.

Minecraft is the top Hollywood film of 2025 to date at the worldwide box office, followed by Disney and Marvel‘s Captain America: Brave New World ($416 million) and Sinners ($250.8 million).

Marvel is winning the May 9-10 weekend overall with Thunderbolts*, which, like Sinners, is benefiting from stellar audience scores. The verdict is out on the film’s ultimate standing, which will depend on how well it holds up when more competition enters the marketplace (there are no new Hollywood event pics on the marquee this weekend).

At Warner, De Luca and Abdy have come under scrutiny internally for putting too much trust in auteur filmmakers and original fare. Coogler’s R-rated film is one of several such projects, and has turned out to be an enormous feather in their cap. Rarely does a sleeper sensation come along like Sinners, a period-set story in the Jim Crow south of the early 1930s in which Jordan plays dual roles as twin brothers who buy a juke joint only to discover a menacing supernatural force.

When Sinners first opened, naysayers were quick to label the $80 million film a wash. They were wrong. Sinners continues to over-index among Black moviegoers, an underserved audience, as well as play to white and Latino moviegoers.

A Minecraft Movie, co-financed and co-produced by Legendary, has also exceeded all expectations for a video game adaptation and has no doubt launched a new franchise for Abdy and De Luca even if it comes short of joining the $1 billion club at the global box office as Paramount’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie succeeded in doing with more than $1.33 billion in ticket sales, not adjusted for inflation. Chris Lee’s Vertigo is also a producer on Minecraft.
