Marvel's "Thunderbolts" maintained its hold on the North American box office with $33.1 million in its second weekend, marking a 55% drop from its debut but outperforming the previous MCU movie "Captain America: Brave New World" in terms of box office hold. Globally, "Thunderbolts" has amassed $272.2 million, becoming the fourth biggest film of the year so far. Ryan Coogler's "Sinners" continues its strong performance in its fourth weekend, grossing $21.1 million domestically and crossing $200 million in North American ticket sales, with a total worldwide gross of $283.3 million. The film is notable for its sustained success as an original R-rated movie and will return to 70mm IMAX screens by popular demand. Warner Bros.' "A Minecraft Movie" also remains strong, having earned $909.6 million globally over six weekends and adding nearly $8 million this past weekend. Industry analysts highlight the long-term playability of "Thunderbolts" and its positive word of mouth as key factors in its box office longevity.
