Sinners earn $19.2 million domestically on the first day.
Ryan Coogler's new film is a huge success.
The new film Sinners, directed by Ryan Coogler, earned $19.2 million on its first release day.
The title topped the US box office, beating out its strong competitor, Minecraft. The film was released in 3,308 theatres, including IMAX theatres, and was very well received by audiences and critics.
While Minecraft is expected to return to the top of the chart in the coming days and lead for the third consecutive week, Sinners' strong start is a clear sign of its potential success in the R-rated supernatural genre. Estimates indicate that the film could earn between $40 million and $42 million by the end of the weekend, a promising figure. Also, its global sales total has exceeded $26 million as of Friday.
