Warner Bros.' horror film “Sinners” earned $45 million in ticket sales from theaters in the U.S. and Canada in its second weekend.

Going into Revenge of the Sith, George Lucas had his work cut out for him. The film needed to show Anakin Skywalker’s fall from grace, and his full transformation into Darth Vader. The movie was also tasked with writing out several characters that had been introduced in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace and Star Wars: Attack of the Clones.

Sinners” towered over the box office again, scoring a mighty $45 million in its second weekend of release. Ticket sales declined a mere 6% from its $48 million start, making “Sinners” the rare film with a sophomore outing that nearly matched its debut.
