This Looks Amazing!!
Warner Bros. will collect more eggs than any other studio at the Easter weekend box office, between smash sensation A Minecraft Movie and Ryan Googler's critically acclaimed original film Sinners starring Michael B. Jordan.
The big question: which film will win the race? Warners, trying to manage expectations, is targeting an opening in the $35 million to $40 million range for Sinners. There's reason to be circumspect, considering the film is an R-rated, period supernatural vampire pic. Tracking services are more bullish in suggesting $40 million to $45 million, while rival studios think Sinner‘s launch could end up north of $50 million.
A Minecraft Movie, produced and co-financed by Legendary, should easily earn $40 million to $45 million in its third outing as it jumps the $600 million mark globally, including $300 million domestically. The film is on its way to becoming one of the top video game adaptations of all time, and is already the top-grossing pic of 2025 in a much-needed win for Warner Bros. movie chiefs Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy, who have come under intense scrutiny following several high-profile misses.
Sinners is a defining moment for the executive duo and their commitment to working with high-profile auteurs and giving filmmakers a relatively wide berth in terms of budget. Sinners cost $90 million to make before marketing, a relatively hefty price tag for a genre movie (that's ahead of the $50 million budget for Coogler and Jordan's Creed).
If the critical response to Sinners is any indication, Coogler has delivered the goods. As of Wednesday, the film's critics score on Rotten Tomatoes was 99 percent - the best of Coogler's career. He burst onto the scene with the indie hit Fruitvale Station before going on to direct Creed and two hit Black Panther films.
