Summary
Ryan Coogler’s ‘Sinners’ achieved a remarkable $45 million in its second weekend, down only 6% from its opening, marking the smallest decline since ‘Avatar’ in 2009. The film’s broad appeal is evident as audience demographics shifted to a 50/50 gender split. It topped the box office against competition from ‘The Accountant 2’ and a re-release of ‘Revenge of the Sith,’ which took second place. The success of ‘Sinners’ and ‘A Minecraft Movie’ signifies a significant recovery for the April box office, which has seen a 102% increase from the previous year.
