USA box office for the 16th weekend of 2025

 
USA box office on the 16th weekend of 2025 is up 80% compared to last year when "Civil War" was the top-grossing movie.  "Sinners" is the top-grossing film this weekend. 

But it's down 27% compared to the peak year of 2017, when "The Fate of the Furious" ruled the box office.


New York Times, 4/20/2025

Brooks Barnes reports:
But the film — directed, written and produced by Ryan Coogler — was expensive, analysts noted, costing Warner Bros. at least $150 million to make and market worldwide. The studio also agreed to demands by Mr. Coogler’s representatives for unusually generous compensation. As a result, for Warner Bros. to make money, “Sinners” will need to attract substantial crowds in the weeks ahead. “It’s an excellent opening for a period horror film, except that it’s hard to call it completely successful because of its enormous budget,” David A. Gross, a film consultant, said in an email.

USA box office for the 15th weekend of 2025

But it's down 34% compared to the peak year of 2023, when "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" ruled the box office.

Box Office Pro,  4/13/2025

Despite the presence of five new wide openers, A Minecraft Movie continued as the box office focal point with an estimated -50.4% second-frame drop, giving the overall total for all titles a 50% year-over-year raise. The King of Kings managed distinguished itself with a mainstream voice cast (Oscar Isaac, Kenneth Branagh) and perfect Easter-season timing, debuting to an estimated $19M. So far, Amazon/MGM’s The Amateur is performing less like a breakout and more like a programmer ala A Working Man’s $15.5M opening; its sophomore weekend hold will give us a much better picture as to the film’s ultimate reception in the market. Fellow newcomers Drop and Warfare, closing out the top five, performed in line with expectations, which had both in the $7M – $10M range.
