Marvel’s Thunderbolts Dominates Box Office
Marvel’s Thunderbolts looks to top the box office this weekend, bringing in $31.5 million on its opening day. That opening gross puts the MCU antihero team-up movie on track for a domestic opening weekend total somewhere between $70 million and $75 million. While sizable, that’s still on the lower end of Marvel openings. It’s also not as much as this year’s other MCU offering, Captain America: Brave New World, which drew an $88 million opening weekend before grossing a disappointing domestic total of $200 million overall.
Sinners Continues to Shine
Ryan Coogler’s Sinners continues to kill it at the box office, raking in $9.5 million on Friday, May 2, a 27% fall from the week prior. That puts it on track for a $33 million third weekend, even after losing IMAX screens to Thunderbolts. If Sinners continues to perform at this level, it won’t be long before it takes Captain America: Brave New World‘s spot as the second-highest-grossing film at the domestic box office.
Still, the fact that an original, R-rated film continues to hold strong at the box office even without premium screens proves that Sinners is on track to be 2025’s biggest box office success story.
