Now adjust those numbers for inflation. AntMan jumps to $705, and Iron Man up to $875,

Mind you, this only puts movies like Shang-Chi and Captain America a bit over $500 mil, so they’re in about the same range, but let’s not make it look more successful than it is.

It’s an over 20 year long running franchise where to truly get the most out of it you need to watch the majority of the content which amounts to like 50 movies now and over a dozen shows. Over 20 years you will have offboarded more people then you will have onboarded it’s just simple numbers.

It underperformed by like $200 mil. Stop making excuses.

I really wish we could stop talking about box office so much. Movies aren’t going to reach the Infinity War levels anymore, there are so many factors beyond quality that have caused that. It’s a shame that Thunderbolts and F4 were both some of my favorite marvel movies of all time and all anyone can talk about is how big of flops they are.

Superman is the most well known character in the world and barely made $600 million. The box office isn't what it used to be.

• The other newcomers were a mixed bag.

Germany´s entry for Best International Feature at the next Oscars was Sound of Falling and it heavily overperformed expectations and is now set for a long and successful run in german arthouse movie theaters.

The Roses (2025) technically had a bigger Opening Weekend than the original (20,065 tickets during it´s Opening Week!), but that´s because the original only opened in 5 theaters. It´s first Weekend in wide release (100+ theaters) was a lot bigger with 435,821 tickets sold during it´s first wide release weekend.

Still, at least The Roses had some audiences, unlike Caught Stealing and Bride Hard which were completely DOA.

These Posts wouldn't be possible without the website: Insidekino and it's creators, since without this website i wouldn't be able to do these posts, because around 90% of the data in these posts comes from there. So, if you haven't checked this Website out yet, i would definitely recommend it.

Manitou is the native american guy yes? Are they still using germans or balkan guys to portray them?

So it's officially grossed double its budget. I think that's generally treated as the 'safe' mark. :D

Bad Guys 2 is a box office success

Oh? See? Patience (and actual quality products) pays off. Now people can stop acting like the 2nd movie is a mistake or a flop and no longer spam doompostin'.

Yeepiee

WE ARE!

See no evil?

Do you know roughly the decade? 70's 80's 90's 00's?

Furnace (2007) ?

Sounds like Villmark Asylum (2015)

Is it Death Row (2006)? If not, maybe House of 9 (2005)?

”Grand Openin, Grand Closin’”

One of my favorite box office runs ever, and one of my favorite films of the decade. Excited for its awards season run

Sinners is #11 at the world wide box office

it ain't a sequel

it isn't based on any IP

It's not a remake

It's the highest rated movie of the year so far

"Evacuate the city! Engage all defenses! And get this man a oscar!

Favorite film of the year still. Happy to see it almost did $300M domestic

A 5.80x multiplier, and a rare "A" on CinemaScore for a horror. Stuff like this almost never happens for a horror film, especially without the help of holidays. You have to go all the way to stuff like Aliens or Poltergeist just to find a horror film that achieved something like this.

I'm excited for whatever Ryan Coogler does next. WB would be a fool to let him go when he's done with Black Panther III.

Also ends its run with the honor of the being the first live action orginal movie to gross over 270 million since Gravity in 2013.

Would love that. I had the opportunity to see it in theaters but passed, not knowing that it was the last night it was playing anywhere within 100 miles of me. Definitely regret not going!

I convinced my wife, who hates horror, to give it a shot last night and she loved it.

Highly common Sinners W.

Also quite amazing that we have two movies from the 70s in the top 5

A more obvious omission is The Sixth Sense (1999).

Viewed as Action, not Horror, interestingly enough. 

If giving birth by C section to an alien on screen doesn't turn a film into horror then I don't know what does

"You want penis enlargement pills?"

It’s horror sci-fi. Should still be considered horror if Romulus counts.

~1.84 million more needed to unseat The Hangover's 277.33 million from the top 10 biggest R-rated grosser's list.

275 million domestic and it's still not profitable ~ Variety

Two more wide releases coming this weekend will basically end Sinners run.

Its going to finish at 277-278m.

The end of year domestic box office will be filled with live action remakes, sequels, superhero stuff.....Sinners will stick out like a sore thumb. I'm glad one movie that wasn't the same old junk broke out.

Very happy for black cinema, need more original big picture films doing well.

That's bigger than Deadpool 3's 5th Wednesday ($1.78M for Sinners vs $1.62M for Deadpool 3)

20 years from now: “Sinners grossed an estimated $50,000 from a single theater in Texas’s ‘nostalgia week’ rerelease”

More than Deadpool and Wolverine 5th Wednesday and that made another $54M from here for $636M.

That would get it $300M exactly but obviously MI and Lilo are going to cut its leg.

Hoping for IMAX push end of summer if it does $290M+.

I've seen it twice by myself, and am taking my BFF this weekend. He never goes to the movies, so it's a big deal that I was able to convince him. It needs to be seen in the theater.

TBF, I rarely go more than once, so it's huge that I'll have gone 3 times.

I really think it is people seeing it multiple times. I just went my 3rd time.

They really didn’t.

There is no way they could have fit vampires into the multiverse stuff.

Unless it was just its own weird standalone movie unconnected from everything else and they aren’t about that at all.

There was no way a project that was green lit solely because they wanted to put “starring 2X Oscar winner mahershala ali” on a title card was going to turn out good.

Them not wanting to do it at all is part of the reason why not even a single scene was ever filmed lmao.

Outgrossing Thunderbolts domestically is WILD. R rated, black-led ORIGINAL film taking Disney/Marvel to school like this is a story for the books 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I’m sorry, I know this is a really alluring idea, but it’s kind of just wrong a lot of the time. The thing is, people don’t do that unless the movie breaks into a higher level of social awareness like Sinners did.

Black Bag, Mickey 17, Novocaine, Juror no. 2, Love Hurts, Challengers, Horizon part - all original movies in a variety of genres in the last few years. Some of them were tracking to do a lot better, some of them tested extremely well, some reviewed amazingly. They didn’t break through. There still a ton more original movies that that fail than make it.

Considering it was budgeted at $90m and is gonna make over $255m+ domestic, I think that's an unqualified homer.

Can’t wait for the headline: “Coogler’s R-rated Horror Curio SINNERS Eked Out $300 Million at the Box Office — But at What Cost?”

And then they just publish another article quoting anonymous Hollywood insiders wringing their hands about devaluing the studio system and murdering the industry.

It really is incredible. Variety gave the most ridiculous, seemingly impossible measure of success to cast this movie in a bad light, and Sinners still would up meeting it.

This is definitely one of those blank checks that gets the director like 4 more blank checks (like Inception was for Nolan).

I really don't think it's a movie problem to be honest. It's a moviegoer / theater problem.

People don't want to leave their homes unless something enters the #discourse which Sinners did – everyone was talking about it. These kind of buzzy movies are lightning in a bottle and they happen once or twice a year.

I absolutely love going to my local indie theater – I donate yearly and go all the time with my wife. We're huge fans of da moviesh though (obviously since I'm here lol). A more movie-neutral crowd just doesn't want to pay $17 a head to sit in a multiplex where people are talking and on their phones most of the time. We go to AMC way less than we used to because the behavior during movies has reached an all-time low.

I see both sides. I think movies could definitely be better, and when a good one hits, it's amazing for everyone (Sinners), but I also see why consumers aren't giving theaters their dollars as freely anymore.
