Sinners Beat A Minecraft Movie with an Easter Weekend Collection of $15.6M

Sinners tops box office 2025

This easter weekend has been dramatic for movie freaks as “Sinners” was released this Friday, April 18, 2025. Well, it’s not just the news of the movie getting released; it’s the whopping earnings of $16.5 million of “Sinners” on Saturday, expecting the movie to overtake “A Minecraft Movie” by $45 million as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.

The eerie and creepy attractions of a horror movie beating the fun and adrenaline rush of a comedy adventure are no less than an easter surprise for movie lovers this weekend. Let’s find out how things have changed for the two movies with this news article from The CEO Views. 

A Minecraft Movie (2025)

Based on the classic 2011 Minecraft games by Mojang Studios, “A Minecraft Movie” is a live-action and fantasy adventure comedy film. Directed by Jared Hess from a story by Allison Schroeder, Bowman, and Palmer, this film has stars like Jason Momoa, Danielle Brooks, Jack Black, Sebastian Hansen, and Emma Myers. 

The movie is the highest-grossing in the U.S., bringing in $319 million since its release on April 4, 2025. According to Deadline, “A Minecraft Movie” posted $15.8 million on Saturday, continuing to generate box-office numbers of nearly $350 million in the U.S.

Sinners (2025)

A 2025 American Southern Gothic Horror Film, “Sinners,” is directed, co-produced, and written by Ryan Coogler. Set in the 1932 Mississippi Delta, this film depicts the story of two twin brothers, played by Michael B. Jordan, who return to their hometown to be confronted by a supernatural evil. This film also involves stars like Jack O’Connell, Hailee Steinfeld, Wunmi Mosaku, Omar Miller, Li Jun Li, and others. 

Developed under Coogler’s production company, Proximity Media, Warner Bros. Pictures took the distribution rights of the film. The film premiered on April 3, 2025, with a theatrical release in the United States on April 18, by Warner Bros.  

 In 35 years, “Sinners” is the first R-rated horror movie to receive an “A” grade on CinemaScore. The movie also received a rating of 98% from critics and a 97% rating from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes.

Sinners to Overtake A Minecraft Movie

Warner’s “A Minecraft Movie” landed a second ranking with $41.3 million earned at the box office. Whereas Warner’s other presentation, “Sinner,” has taken a leading position with a box-office collection of $45.6 million at the Easter weekend of 2025. This marked the win of original movies over fantasy movies like “A Minecraft Movie,” which is based on Minecraft games. The Ryan Coogler-directed film received a surprisingly better turn with a collection of $16.5 million on Saturday, and “A Minecraft Movie” had a Saturday collection of $15.8 million.

Excited by the box-office picture of Warner Bros, Mike De Luca, and Pam Abdy shared, “As we continue to strive to bring an array of films to moviegoers, we are thrilled to see how Ryan Coogler’s original movie Sinners, and a movie based on the fan favorite Minecraft game, have resonated with audiences in such a stellar way. Movies have the power to transport us to worlds only seen on the big screen, and Warner Bros. Pictures remains committed to bringing singular in-theater experiences to audiences looking for bold movies, both original and those based on beloved existing properties.”

Although the competition between “Sinners” and “A Minecraft Movie” continues to linger at the box office, the real winner is Warner Bros. Pictures, which continues to rule the weekend box office with its massive distribution of movies like Clash of Titan’s (2010), Batman v. Superman (2016), Ready Player One (2018), The Curse of La Llorona (2019), Godzilla v. Kong (2021), Fantastic Beasts 3 (2022), Godzilla x Kong (2024), and now Sinners in 2025. Based on Minecraft games, “A Minecraft Movie” is also the production of Warner Bros, making Warner Bros. Pictures a weekend rocker at the box office this Easter. Behind the Minecraft film was Captain America, with an earnings of $200 million, and Mufasa: The Lion King with $126 million.

With a glorifying audience score and perfect reviews, Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners” beat “A Minecraft Movie,” based on Minecraft games,  from 3,800 theaters, ahead of an expected $40 million box office earnings. The spike in the earnings on Saturday changed the scenario for the movie, after it had an opening of $15.4 million from selective markets for a global earnings of $61 million.

For a R-rated original horror movie, “Sinners” had a strong start. Made entirely by Warner Bros, people had their eyes on the performance of the movie, and it didn’t fail to impress the audience in the first weekend. Now, if the movie continues to impress, this would be a victory for the Warner duo.  “Sinners” cost $90 million to make, which is quite a huge price for a genre movie.
