Thunderbolts retains the top spot at the box office with $33.1M – more than half its debut – while Sinners passes $200M domestic

Marvel’s Thunderbolts continued its box office success with a repeat weekend at the top of the domestic charts.

The superhero blockbuster took in $74.6 million from its debut weekend at the box office, and while its second weekend dropped by more than half its opening, it still found its way to the top.

Thunderbolts took in an estimated $33.1 million this weekend, which represents a 55.5% drop from last weekend’s debut, according to Box Office Mojo.

Warner Bros.’ hit thriller Sinners also continues to perform well, taking the second place spot for the second week in a row, after two straight wins at the top.

Other strong holdovers The Minecraft Movie and The Accountant 2 both repeated in the third and fourth place slots, with this weekend’s three newcomers failing to put up much of a fight against these spring hits.

New releases Clown in a Cornfield, Shadow Force and Fight or Flight took the fifth, sixth and seven spots at the box office with rather dismal numbers.

Thunderbolts’ 55.5% drop is roughly the standard for any major studio tentpole film, pulling in a decent $7,644 per-screen average from 4,330 theaters.

That brings its current domestic tally to $128.4 million, with an addition $34 million from foreign markets bringing its international tally to $143.7 million, for a global tally of $272.5 million.

The film had a reported budget of $180 million, with roughly another $100 million spent on publicity and advertising costs as well.

It will likely pass the $300 million worldwide mark by the end of next week, though it remains to be seen if Thunderbolts has the longevity to reach $400 million and beyond.

Director Ryan Coogler’s smash hit Sinners continues to impress in its fourth weekend in theaters, taking in $21.1 million, a drop of just 36.3% in its fourth weekend.

It has currently taken in $214.4 million domestic, adding another $6.6 million from foreign markets for $68.9 million internationally and $283.3 million worldwide.

Sinners, like Thunderbolts, is also slated to cross $300 million globally at some point this coming week.

However, unlike Thunderbolts, it only has a $90 million budget, with reported publicity and advertising costs between $50-$60 million.

The Minecraft Movie continues its global box office domination, crossing $400 million domestic ($408.9 million) and $500 million from foreign markets ($500.6 million) for $909.5 million worldwide. 

The Accountant 2 took in $6.09 million in fourth place with Clown in a Cornfield debuting with $3.6 million from 2,277 for a measly $1,602 per-screen average.

Shadow Force ($2.05 million from 2,170 theaters for $928 per-screen average) and Fight or Fight ($2.001 million from 2,153 theaters for $929 per-screen average) debuted in sixth and seventh place, with Until Dawn ($2.00 million), The Amateur ($1.1 million) and The King of Kings ($680,656) rounding out the top 10.

Next weekend brings the highly-anticipated prequel Final Destination: Origins, Hurry Up Tomorrow starring The Weeknd and Jenna Ortega, and The Ruse.
