Box Office (Sunday Update): Sinners Sets More Records & Hits Crucial Global Milestone, Ben Affleck Action Sequel Battles Surprise Star Wars Hit For Second Place

The Accountant 2 arrives during week 2 of Sinners.

Per Deadline, as of Saturday morning, Sinners is projected to earn a 3-day total of $42 million by the end of its sophomore weekend at the domestic box office. This is more than enough for it to take No. 1 at the domestic box office for the second weekend in a row. It has handily bested The Accountant 2, as the belated sequel (which follows Affleck's 2016 movie The Accountant, about autistic action hero Christian Wolff) is projected to gross $25 million, which will see it debut at No. 2 ahead of the fourth weekend of A Minecraft Movie at No. 4 and the 20th anniversary re-release of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith at No. 3.

Meanwhile, Sinners' global total has exploded past the $100 million milestone, hitting a cumulative gross of $127.5 million worldwide. It has set multiple records during its second weekend, including falling just 13% at the domestic box office for the second-smallest week 2 drop in history for an R-rated horror movie (behind Heart Eyes, which rose 19%). It is also director Ryan Coogler's best second weekend ever for a non-Marvel movie and the second-best sophomore weekend for an R-rated horror movie in general (behind 2017's It, which made $60 million at a 51.3% drop).

Any way it is measured, the Sinners box office is astounding. Although it had already earned one of the best debut weekends ever for an R-rated horror movie, its sophomore weekend drop is even more impressive, because the horror genre is noted for generally having severe week 2 drops of 50% or more. In fact, of the five biggest week 2 drops for major wide releases playing in 3,000 theaters or more, three of those titles were horror movies, two of which were part of major, long-running film franchises. Below, see a breakdown of the performance of those releases:

Title	Opening Weekend	Week 2 Drop
Joker: Folie à Deux (2024)	$37.7 million	-81.4%
Friday the 13th (2009)	$40.6 million	-80.4%
Halloween Ends (2022)	$40 million	-80%
The Marvels (2023)	$46.1 million	-78.1%
Five Nights at Freddy's (2023)	$80 million	-76.2%

‘SINNERS’ is estimated to earn a phenomenal $42M domestically this weekend, a 10% drop
•Would be the smallest box office drop for a major movie in modern history
• Strong chance the film could earn more this weekend than last weekend
