AceShowbiz - Warner Bros' vampire movie "Sinners" led the Easter weekend box office with an impressive $45.6 million, narrowly surpassing the studio's own "A Minecraft Movie", which secured the second spot with $41.3 million.

Directed by Ryan Coogler and fronted by Michael B. Jordan and Hailee Steinfeld, "Sinners" captivated audiences with a compelling narrative and exhilarating visuals, making it the only horror movie in over three decades to earn an A CinemaScore.

Comparatively, its Box Office performance beat Jordan Peele's "Nope" despite Friday's initial numbers trailing just behind.

This remarkable debut follows a stellar 97% score on Rotten Tomatoes and perfect PostTrak ratings, boasting widespread acclaim from audiences and critics alike. The film's electrifying momentum was evident as Saturday saw a peak in walk-up ticket sales, pushing its weekend total well beyond initial estimations of $40 million.

Meanwhile, "A Minecraft Movie", now in its third weekend, continued its monumental run, nearing $350 million domestically and heading towards a global gross of $700 million. Yet, the Easter holiday's unpredictable nature allowed "Sinners" to shine brighter.

The triumph of "Sinners" adds another feather to Warner Bros.' cap, marking the eighth time the studio has led the Easter weekend box office since 2000. Not far behind, Angel Studios' "King of Kings" secured $17.2 million in its second week, offering formidable competition in a crowded cinematic landscape.
