Thunderbolts* to smash past $100M today while looking to superhero-land on another $30M at the weekend box office

Antiheroes are blowing up the box office again as Marvel Studios‘ Thunderbolts* looks to punch its way to $100M on Friday with an estimated $30M second weekend take at the box office. It’s safe to say Thunderbolts* will retain its spot at the top of the charts until next week when New Line’s anticipated horror film Final Destination: Bloodlines brings unpredictable deaths back to theaters for the first time since 2011’s Final Destination 5. Analysts expect Bloodlines to make a $30M-$40M killing at the box office during its debut.

Elsewhere, Ryan Coogler’s Sinners continues to sink its teeth into wallets by ending its third week with $46.6M, bringing its domestic total to $193.3M, with $247M+ worldwide. Sinners will cross the $200M domestic mark by the end of Friday, with another $23M-$25M to add to its coffers in its fourth weekend. If you want to see Sinners in 70mm, head to theaters between May 15-21.

After announcing its digital and 4K Blu-ray release dates, A Minecraft Movie leveled up to $401M in domestic dollars, bringing its worldwide total to $876.8M+ as of this posting. The Accountant 2 added $13.1M from its second week, bringing its total to $44.7M. Finally, analysts expect IFC’s Clown in a Cornfield to slash its way to $5M, though it could do more considering its positive buzz from critics. According to Deadline, Clown in a Cornfield did $600K in previews. Lionsgate’s Shadow Force, starring Kerry Washington and Omar Sy, is looking at $3M-$4M at 2,170 theaters after $200K in previews. Vertical’s Fight or Flight, starring Josh Hartnett and Katee Sackhoff, ran with $550K in previews and could pull $2.5M over the weekend. Lastly, Briarcliff Entertainment’s Juliet & Romeo could prove that love isn’t dead with a $1M debut across 1,350 screens.
