Weekend predictions: Thunderbolts and Sinners fight for top billing

May 9th, 2025

Thunderbolts*

Thunderbolts (The New Avengers) will do battle at the top of the box office chart with Sinners this weekend. Thunderbolts* (is it still OK to call it that?) enters the weekend as favorite, with our model predicting a 59% decline from its opening, while Sinners is expected to fall just 18% in its fourth weekend. If those numbers hold up, the two films will both be hovering somewhere in the high 20s to low 30s over three days. With Thunderbolts holding on to PLF screens, it most likely has the edge.

While those two fight for the title this weekend, four new wide releases arrive in theaters. More...
