Last weekend, Marvel’s Thunderbolts dominated the box office once again, raking in $33 million. This brings its total to an impressive $128.4 million after just two weeks. Starring Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, this film has become a fan favorite.
In second place, Ryan Coogler’s Sinners continues to impress. This vampire thriller added $21 million to its total, which now stands at $214.4 million. Critics praise the performances, especially Michael B. Jordan’s, and the film is expected to cross $300 million globally soon.
New movies also entered the scene, with Clown in a Cornfield earning $3.6 million. Although this is a smaller release, it marks a strong debut for IFC Films and RLJE Films. Shadow Force made $2.015 million and stars Kerry Washington, while Fight or Flight grossed $2.001 million, showcasing the mix of genres that are gaining traction in theaters.
Interestingly, international trends show similar results. Thunderbolts and Sinners topped global charts too, highlighting their wide appeal. For context, last year’s big releases faced stiff competition, but films featuring popular franchises like Spider-Man found unforgettable success. Today, audiences seem just as excited about superhero stories, as well as thrillers.
Looking ahead, next weekend could shake things up. New releases include Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Rise of Leo, which is expected to attract a younger audience. The Weeknd’s acting debut in Hurry Up Tomorrow also has many curious. And horror fans will likely flood theaters for Final Destination: Bloodlines.
This weekend’s box office reflects shifting preferences, and it’s clear that diverse genres are thriving. Whether it’s vampires or ninja turtles, there’s something for everyone. Keep an eye on these releases, as they could redefine the entertainment landscape.
