It was a VERY Good Friday, Saturday AND Sunday for Warner Bros, which saw its new horror release “Sinners” do decent, not world-beating business Thursday afternoon and evening ($4.7 million), but added another $14 million to Friday itself to “open” at $18.5 million on its way to a weekend-winning $45 million and change.

The third weekend of “A Minecraft Movie” did over $16 million Friday alone, reports Deadline.com. “Sinners” had been projected to blow the doors off the horror movie doldrums of 2025 with a $40 million weekend, with “Minecraft” sure to best that, chicken-jockeying its way to $45-50 million.

But that did not happen. “Sinners,” the better film of the pair, kept piling up all that pent=up horror audience demand, and damned if it didn’t vanquish the shiny bauble that will be Jack Black and possibly Jason Momoa’s biggest hit. “Minecraft” only rolled up 41 million and change through Sunday. Maybe Monday will revert to form with the kiddie fare taking back over, but Easter weekend is all “Sinners.”

Writer-director Ryan Coogler has his finger on the pulse of what the public wants to see, and this Michael B. Jordan/Miles Caton/Hailee Steinfeld, Jack O’Connell and Delroy Lindo star vehicle is riding good reviews all the way to the bank. Well, not mine. I felt downright depressed at how dumb the movie turned for its finale.

Two other wide releases opening this weekend won’t crack the top five, with “A Wedding Banquet” and a half-assed kiddie cartoon “Sneaks” lucky to find their way into the top ten. Not much ventured, not much gained in either case.

Because the Easter appropriate animated “The King of Kings” is proving to be the sleeper of the spring, with a Dickens touch, an all-star voice cast and good animation and a built-in audience. It’ll reach $17.273 million this weekend, maybe more if the Sunday crowd shows up after church. As it opened at $19 million last week, this picture has the rare chance to BETTER its opening weekend take on its second weekend, a feat as rare as a Second Coming.

“The Amateur” is sliding off to fourth with a decent $7.2 million second weekend.

“Warfare” looks to stay in the top five with a $4.855 million-and-fading second weekend.

Hilariously, the re-release of the 2005 Keira-McFadyen “Pride and Prejudice” routed the remake of “A Wedding Banquet” by a $2.7 million to $922,000 roughly the same number of screens. Perhaps Bowen Yang will do a bitchy “Weekend Update” segment about how “humbling” that

The last “Last Supper” big screen release of the streaming “The Chosen” Life of Jesus series, “Part 3, barely made the top ten.

That’s better than Briarcliff’s animated misfire “Sneaks,” which didn’t crack the top 20.
