‘Thunderbolts*’ Flies to $162 Million Globally, ‘Sinners’ Nears $250 Million Milestone

"Thunderbolts" topped the global box office while "Sinners" nears the $250 million milestone after three weekends.

Those ticket sales are behind the previous Marvel adventure, February’s “Captain America: Brave New World” ($192 million), though reviews and audience scores for “Thunderbolts” should help in terms of staying power. Big screen endurance is important because Disney spent $180 million to make and another $100 million to market “Thunderbolts,” which centers on a ragtag group of antiheroes including Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes, Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova, Wyatt Russell’s John Walker and David Harbour’s Red Guardian. “Thunderbolts” officially ignites the all-important summer movie season, with studios set to unveil new installments in some of the biggest franchises.
