"Sinners" does not entertain. After exceeding the expectations of the box office in his debut last week, Ryan Kogller's vampire horror Jimim Crowe is well on his way to falling only 8% in his second weekend. Diversity reports that "sinners" earned $ 13 million on Friday and demands about $ 42 million in the weekend, compared to his Home opening of $ 48 million last week. It is a phenomenal retention, given that it is typical of films to fall 40-60% in their second weekend.

It is even more impressive when you consider the fact that the opening weekend included $ 4.7 million in Thursday reviews. Total Friday to Sunday was $ 43.3 million, which means "sinners" not only hold stable, but it can actually go evenly bigger This weekend than happened in his first. Exhibitors responded to demand, expanding from 3,308 seats to 3,347.

Anecdotis, here in the UK, my local multiplex launched the "sinners" on the 89 -seat screen for its show on Friday night, but moved it to 134 seats for the same slot this week. I was at the presence both times, and both times he was close to a full house with a totally thrilled audience.

The Positive word from mouth around "sinners" is so strong that it is difficult to predict how far it can go in the coming weeks, but it is excluded at an incredible start.

Sometimes, a slight drop in the second weekend can be deserved for a lack of competition. This is not the case with "sinners". Koggler's film had to be held against the new edition of the horror genre (video games adaptation to dawn), a sequel led by Ben Affleck, "Accountant 2" and re -issuing "Starwells War: Revenge of Sit".

According to the variety, "Accountant 2" has reached a day to open $ 9.4 million (including Thursday reviews), putting it on the right track for $ 25 million. It is almost exactly at the same level with the original film for 2016, although it is a less starting start in inflation factoring. 2016 The "Accountant" in 2016 had a modest boxing office, but became a huge success on the streaming platforms, so "Accountant 2" could have a similar story. It may be worth catching this on the big screen, though; /Film Ryan Scott described him in his review Like "Pure Popcorn Fun, performed efficiently" and "better in every way" from the first film.

Critics are significantly less thrilled than Dawn, which should be opened fifth at the $ 3.2 million box office. It is possible to make a small tooth in the second weekend in total for "sinners", but it most looks like Dawn to be reinforced by the larger horror film.
