Sinners: Box Office Triumph and Critical Acclaim
As of April 17, 2025, the film Sinners, directed by Ryan Coogler, has established itself as a significant box office success. After a remarkable three weeks in theaters, it has surpassed the $200 million mark in domestic earnings, according to a report from World of Reel.
Continued Box Office Performance
Entering its fourth week, Sinners is projected to earn between $26 million and $28 million, as reported by World of Reel. This impressive figure puts it in close competition with the anticipated second weekend performance of Thunderbolts, which is estimated to reach approximately $30 million.

The film features a stellar cast, including Michael B. Jordan, Hailee Steinfeld, Wunmi Mosaku, and Miles Caton, among others. Coogler has expressed great admiration for Jordan, who portrays dual roles as Smoke and Stack in the film.
A Strong Collaborative Relationship
During a recent discussion on the Ball is Life podcast, Coogler made an intriguing comparison between his partnership with Jordan and the legendary duo of Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen from the Chicago Bulls. “We’re like Mike [Jordan] and [Scottie] Pippen…We just kinda know what the other one needs…we’ve got a rhythm,” he remarked.
Coogler’s comments reflect not just their professional synergy but also a deep personal friendship; their journey together in film has spanned numerous successful projects. Prior collaborations include Fruitvale Station (2013), Creed (2015), Black Panther (2018), and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022), along with production roles in both Creed II (2018) and Creed III (2023).
