The revenge of the Sith shines at the US box office, Sinners remains a solid leader

Ryan Coogler’s vampiric thriller achieves remarkable performance in the second week. But the big blow is for Disney, with its spectacular outcome of Star Wars Episode III.

Impressive Sinners. With an attendance that has almost dropped (-6%) compared to its opening weekend, the Vampires film of Ryan Coogler with Michael B. Jordan Dominates the US box office again for its second consecutive weekend.

This is the best stability of attendance in the second weekend for a film that started at more than 45 million since Avatarwhich had lost only 1.8 % in December 2009 – and again, Avatar benefited from the Christmas holiday period. Sinnershe succeeds in this feat without the help of a holiday. Rare performance. Sinners Harves the sum of $ 45 million during its second weekend of exit (against 48 million for its release weekend). The phenomenon is there and has already brought $ 122.5 million to North America (161.6 million in total worldwide). It now targets $ 200 million in North America, knowing that the last original film (not based on a license and out of adaptation) was Coconut de Pixar in 2017 (210 million). The film, which cost $ 90 million to produce, should be very profitable.

Sufficient to keep remotely Mr. Wolff 2 (The Accountant 2). The big outing of the week carried by Ben Affleck And Jon Bernthal has garnered almost 25 million out of 3,610 screens for its weekend. A good score, equal to that of the first part: Tea Birth had started at 24 million in 2016 and completed his in -room career with $ 155 million internationally, before becoming one of the most rented films in VOD in 2017. This success in video on demand has weighed down a lot in the decision to produce This sequel which cost $ 80 million excluding marketing – almost double the first (45 million). Given the cost of highlighting production, Amazon MGM probably hoped for the opening of The Accountant 2. That said, you have to remember Red OneChristmas durable with Dwayne Johnson And Chris Evanswhich had opened $ 32 million in November, despite a staggering budget of 250 million.

This film was then highlighted as a streaming success by Amazon. Its cinema distribution manager, Kevin Wilsonhad explained that a gym is considered a success if it just covers marketing and distribution costs, before arriving on Prime Video. Clearly, Amazon remains above all a streaming giant, and probably sees this Mr. Wolff 2 More as an asset for its platform than as a simple box office issue.

Besides, we will note that Mr. Wolff 2 still has no release date in France and will most likely be released directly, without going through the cinema box.

But Ben Affleck is ultimately only 3rd in the US box office!

Because the real good time of the weekend is for Disney: the emergence of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith The second place in the ranking is completely offered.

Considered the most respected of the prequel trilogy of George Lucasthe battle between Anakin and Obi-Wan raised more than 25 million over three days.

Proof that this Episode III is one of the favorites of the fans: this emergence achieves more than double the scoring of the outcome 25th anniversary of Star Wars: Episode I – The ghost threat last year (8 million). And much more than the 5.1 million made by The return of the Jedi for its 40th birthday in 2023. What will The attack of the cloneswho will celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2027?
