Thunderbolts* tops the box office with $33.1 million as Sinners holds strong in second place.

Thunderbolts* Leads the Charge

Thunderbolts

This weekend’s box office saw Marvel’s Thunderbolts* open to a more modest $33.1 million. While down 55% from last week, it still managed to claim the top spot. The film’s offbeat team dynamic and darker tone continue to spark conversation, though this drop may indicate some superhero fatigue. Marvel’s recalibration is ongoing, and Thunderbolts* might not be the lightning strike at the box office the studio hoped for.

Sinners Holds Strong in Second

Sinners added another $21.1 million to its haul, showing impressive staying power. The gritty crime drama continues to benefit from strong word of mouth and interest from the adult audience. With only a 36% drop-off from week to week, this is shaping up to be a slow-burn success story at the box office in a market hungry for original content.

Minecraft and The Accountant 2

A Minecraft Movie earned $8.0 million this weekend. The pixelated adventure dropped down to third place, but it’s still pulling families and younger viewers. The real test will be its box office international performance and merchandising potential, where the brand has historically thrived.

The Accountant 2 collected $6.1 million. The return of Ben Affleck’s calculating antihero isn’t making major waves, but it’s proving solid counterprogramming for viewers looking for something less bombastic. Its long-term box office success may hinge on streaming and international interest.

Clown in a Cornfield Finds a Niche

Clown in a Cornfield rounded out the Top 5 with $3.7 million. The low-budget horror entry attracted genre fans and managed to exceed expecations but failed to cross into mainstream appeal. Strong visuals and cult potential could keep it alive past its theatrical box office run.

Will Final Destination Bloodlines Break Through?

Next week’s big release is Final Destination Bloodlines. The movie is set to earn between $26 million and $34 million. Since Sinners is winding down, and there’s not much competition in the horror space. I expect it to make close to $32 million at the box office. Which, if Sinners and Thunderbolts* continue to wind down, it’ll most likely place first.

As always, we’ll find out how the box office shapes up next week.
