\n\tRyan Googler\u2019s highly anticipated new movie Sinners<\/em> starring Michael B. Jordan is finding redemption at the Easter weekend box office. Ditto for Warner Bros.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe critical \u2014 and audience darling \u2014 topped Friday\u2019s chart with $19.2 million from 3,308 theaters, including Imax screens. That put the supernatural period vampire pic ahead of fellow Warner\u2019 release A Minecraft Movie<\/em>, although the latter is expected to pull ahead of Sinners<\/em> sometime on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\n\tBased on Friday numbers, Minecraft<\/em> is expected to come stay atop the chart for its third consecutive weekend with $45 million from 4,032 locations as it nears the $350 million mark domestically and app<\/a>roaches $700 million globally. <\/p>\n

\n\tSinners<\/em> is pacing to earn $40 million to $42 million, a strong start for an R-rated genre pic. Including early overseas grosses, it\u2019s global total through Friday was north $26 million. <\/p>\n

\n\tAll eyes on are how Coogler\u2019s Sinners<\/em> performs, since the original movie was made entirely by Warner Bros. movie chiefs Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy from start to finish. If Sinners<\/em> continues to impress, the duo can now boast two wins in a row after several high-profile misses that reportedly made their boss, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav consider replacing them.<\/p>\n

\n\tSinners<\/em> has plenty of advantages as it arrives on the big screen. It boasts the best Rotten Tomatoes critics\u2019 score of Coogler\u2019s career with 97 percent<\/a> and also was graced with an impressive A CinemaScore from audiences and perfect scores on PostTrak. The male-skewing movie is playing to an ethnically diverse audience, with Black moviegoers making up nearly half of all ticket buyers so far. White moviegoers made up 27 percnet, followed by Latinos (14 percent), Asians (6 percent) and Native American\/Other (4 percent), according to PostTrak.<\/p>\n

\n\tA period pic, the 1932-set Sinners<\/em> stars Jordan in dual roles as identical twin entrepreneurs known as Smoke and Stack. Having survived the World War I trenches and Chicago gangland, the brothers return after seven years to their segregated Mississippi Delta hometown, Clarksdale. They are flush with cash and have a truckload of liquor and a plan to open a juke joint. However, they encounter unexpected horrors.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSinners<\/em> is the gifted writer-director\u2019s first entirely original feature, not based on real-life events or existing IP, and he packs it with enough thematic layers and genre fluidity to fuel at least three movies<\/a>,\u201d writes David Rooney in The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>\u2018s review.<\/p>\n

\n\tCoogler burst onto the scene with the indie hit Fruitvale Station<\/em> before going on to direct Creed<\/em> and the Black Panther<\/em> franchise (the latter two both starred Jordan). Sinners<\/em> cost $90 million to make before marketing, a relatively hefty price tag for a genre movie (Creed<\/em>\u2018s budget was $50 million).<\/p>\n

\n\tElsewhere, Angel Studios\u2018 Easter-themed The King of Kings<\/em> is perched in third place. The animated pic about the life of Jesus is expected to earn $17 million to $18 million in its second weekend for a narrow drop of 12 percen or so after adding 335 theaters to its count. The film, now playing in a total of 3,535 theaters, boasts a coveted A+ CinemaScore and is playing best in middle America and the south.<\/p>\n

\n\tDisney and 20th Century\u2019s Rami Malek spy drama The Amateur<\/em> is holding in fourth place with an expected second-weekend gross of $7 million to $8 million from 3,400 theaters. <\/p>\n

\n\tA24\u2019s gritty U.S. Navy Seal drama Warfare<\/em> will round out the top five with an estimated $4.8 million to $5 million from 2,670 sites (in honor of Easter weekend, A24 is discounting ticket prices for military members.) The Iraqi war pic was co-directed by Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza, a former SEAL.<\/p>\n
