‘Sinners’ tops North America box office for second week

Los Angeles, United States (AFP)— Ryan Coogler’s 1930s vampire thriller “Sinners” sunk its teeth into another huge weekend at the North American box office, taking in $45 million, industry estimates showed Sunday.

Michael B. Jordan (“Black Panther,” “Creed”) stars as twins in Coogler’s supernatural horror flick set in Mississippi, which has a near-perfect 98 percent fresh rating on movie review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.

Hailee Steinfeld and Delroy Lindo also star in the music-driven Warner Bros film, which has a cumulative domestic take of $122.5 million.

In second place was the 20th anniversary re-release of Disney’s “Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith,” with a whopping $25.2 million, according to data from Exhibitor Relations.

The result, one of the best ever for a re-release, “clearly demonstrates the audience and fan passion for this beloved franchise,” said Comscore senior media analyst Paul Dergarabedian.

Ben Affleck’s “The Accountant 2” debuted in third place at $24.5 million. The Amazon MGM Studios film stars Affleck as a neurodivergent math genius with ties to the criminal underworld and Jon Bernthal as his hit man brother.

Video game adaptation “A Minecraft Movie” from Warner Bros., starring Jack Black and Jason Momoa, finished in fourth place with $22.7 million.

It has so far grossed $380 million in North America — the top release so far this year — and another $436 million internationally, putting it on track to rake in a billion dollars.

In fifth place was new Sony horror film “Until Dawn” at $8 million.

Rounding out the top 10 were:

“The King of Kings” ($4 million)

“The Amateur” ($3.8 million)

“Warfare” ($2.7 million)

“The Legend of Ochi” ($1.4 million)

“Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii” ($1.3 million)
