A Thrilling Battle at the Box Office!

This weekend, the horror flick ‘Sinners’ is gearing up to outshine the much-anticipated ‘The Accountant 2’ in a fierce box office showdown. With a scorching A CinemaScore, this Ryan Coogler-directed gem starring Michael B. Jordan is expected to hold strong—a rarity for horror films!

While some forecasts suggest ‘Sinners’ might see a 60% drop to $19.2 million in its second weekend, others believe its performance could be much better, perhaps only a 50% decline to around $24 million. For perspective, Jordan Peele’s ‘Get Out’ experienced a remarkable 15% drop during its second weekend, racking up $28.2 million.

Impressive Earnings!

‘Sinners’ didn't waste any time, grossing $7.1 million on Wednesday alone, a modest drop from Tuesday’s $8.6 million. In just six days, this chilling tale has amassed an impressive $71.5 million in North America.

The Accountant 2: A Sequel with Star Power!

On the flip side, ‘The Accountant 2’ is projected to make over $20 million this weekend across 3,610 theaters, as Ben Affleck returns to his role as the brooding accountant with a dark side. This sequel to the 2016 crime thriller, which originally opened with $24.7 million, has generated plenty of buzz among fans. Directed once again by Gavin O’Connor, it also features Jon Bernthal and Cynthia Addai-Robinson, alongside Daniella Pineda, who is set to wow audiences as a devious hitwoman.

Showtimes and Anticipation!

The excitement doesn’t stop there—showtimes for both films kick off today at 4 p.m. ‘The Accountant 2’ is currently on par with Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum’s ‘Lost City,’ which debuted with $30 million.

An Unforgettable Horror Experience!

Additionally, Sony has entered the fray with ‘Until Dawn,’ a R-rated horror flick helmed by David F. Sandberg. This spine-chilling movie about friends trapped in a gruesome time loop is expected to draw in $8 million to $9 million from 3,000 locations, proving once again that horror is a genre that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats.

As the box office heats up this weekend, all eyes will be on ‘Sinners’ to see if it can maintain its momentum and deliver thrilling twists to its already gripping tale!
