Massive Weekend At The Box Office: ‘Sinners’ $30M+ (Possible $35M-$40M), ‘Accountant 2’ $23M+
If you thought this weekend at the box office was going to be a snooze, think again. Three films — all wildly different — are lighting up theaters, and the numbers are seriously surprising.
What’s leading the box office?
Topping the charts is Warner Bros.’ Sinners, which is crushing expectations in its second weekend. The supernatural vampire thriller, led by Michael B. Jordan and directed by Ryan Coogler, is poised to pull in as much as $40 million. That’s after already banking $48 million on opening weekend — not bad for a genre that usually plays it safe.
Here’s the kicker: that would mark just a 17% drop, a rare feat in modern box office trends. With rave reviews and near-perfect audience scores, Sinners has quickly become the movie everyone’s talking about.
Quick Fact: ‘Sinners’ has raked in over $77.5 million domestically in just one week.
EEAT tip: Directed by a highly acclaimed filmmaker and starring an A-lister — serious credibility and audience trust here.
Can ‘The Accountant 2’ Keep Up?
Ben Affleck is back crunching numbers and skulls in The Accountant 2, and the sequel is holding its own. After a solid $2.5 million in previews, including “Tax Day” screenings (nice touch, right?), early estimates show it could land somewhere between $23M to $25M this weekend.
That puts it ahead of another big competitor: Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary with a limited re-release. Even with a strong $3.4M in Thursday previews, The Accountant 2 is gaining momentum and could snag the No. 2 spot.
Fun fact: the original Accountant grossed $155.5M globally, and it was Amazon’s most-rented digital movie in 2017. This time, Affleck’s teamed up again with director Gavin O’Connor and brought back Jon Bernthal, plus a cast stacked with talent.
SEO snippet potential: “What is ‘The Accountant 2’ about?”
Answer: Ben Affleck returns as the enigmatic accountant who’s drawn into solving a murder mystery, uncovering a dangerous conspiracy alongside his brother and a Treasury agent.
‘Revenge of the Sith’ Returns With Force
Now let’s talk about that galaxy far, far away. Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith is back in theaters for a one-week-only anniversary celebration. With early estimates ranging from $20M to $23M, it’s on track to be one of the top-grossing re-releases ever.
That’s impressive considering the last Star Wars re-release (Phantom Menace in 2024) pulled in just $8.7M on its opening weekend. And let’s not forget — this is a movie that originally premiered back in 2005!
⭐ Why it matters: The prequel trilogy has been embraced by a new generation. Thanks to Disney+, Hayden Christensen’s return in Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the nostalgia factor, Sith is having a moment.
What Else Is Playing?
While the big three duke it out, there are other players in the mix:
- The Minecraft Movie is holding strong in fourth place, nearing $400M domestically.
- Until Dawn, Sony and Screen Gems’ latest horror flick, earned a modest $1M in previews and is looking at a quiet $7M opening weekend.
Final Box Office Weekend Projections (as of Friday):
| Film | Projected Weekend Gross | Notable Facts |
| Sinners | $30M–$40M | 17% drop, viral hit, audience favorite |
| The Accountant 2 | $23M–$25M | Fresh critic scores, big fan response |
| Revenge of the Sith | $20M–$23M | Top re-release performance in recent years |
Conclusively
Sinners is stealing the spotlight with a breakout second weekend. The Accountant 2 is solid and rising, while Revenge of the Sith proves Star Wars nostalgia is as strong as ever. Box office watchers — you’ll want to stay tuned, because this weekend isn’t over yet.
