The highly anticipated vampire film by Ryan Coogler, titled “Sinners“, will be available for streaming on Max as of July 4th. Warner Bros. has confirmed this exciting news. The horror movie has already been a blockbuster in cinemas, raking in over $361 million globally, with the U.S. accounting for more than $275 million of that staggering total. This domestic success makes “Sinners” the highest-grossing original horror movie ever in the United States, surpassing the record previously held by “Jaws“.
In contrast to numerous successful horror movies derived from novels or existing series, Sinners breaks this mold with its unique, original narrative. This distinctiveness has played a significant role in gaining recognition not just within the U.S., but also on a global scale, where it now holds the title as the top-grossing original horror film worldwide.
The movie kicked off impressively, earning $48 million in its debut weekend, which is uncommon for an original film. It continued to perform well, losing just 4.9% of its earnings during the second weekend—a level of stability typically seen only with massive successes like Avatar and Shrek. By the third weekend, it had made $33 million, and in the fourth, it surpassed the $200 million mark in the U.S., a milestone not achieved by an original film since Coco in 2017.
As a passionate cinephile looking back at films released over the past 15 years, it’s clear that Sinners has made an impressive mark, earning the second highest box office revenue – only Inception outpaced it in this regard. Movies like Interstellar and Get Out didn’t stand a chance against Sinners’ success. A significant portion of its triumph can be attributed to premium screenings, with almost half of its opening weekend earnings generated from IMAX and other large-format theaters – an unusual feat for a horror movie.
The response from the audience has been overwhelmingly favorable. The movie garnered an “A” grade from CinemaScore, a distinction seldom given to horror films and one last seen 35 years ago. As per PostTrak, a staggering 92% of viewers rated it positively, and an impressive 84% declared they would suggest it to others.
In the 1930s American South, the story Sinners unfolds, focusing on twin brothers, portrayed by Michael B. Jordan, who return to their hometown in Mississippi. They arrange a night filled with music and dancing, but the tranquility is disrupted when vampire hunters launch an attack. The narrative cleverly intertwines horror aspects with explorations of community values and self-esteem.
As a cinephile myself, let me share that an exciting ensemble graces the silver screen in this upcoming flick. I’m talking about Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton, Jack O’Connell, Delroy Lindo, Omar Benson Miller, and Jayme Lawson. Autumn Durald Arkapaw, who has worked her magic on films like Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, is the one behind the camera, using 70mm IMAX film to capture the movie – making it stand out from the rest.
The movie garnered acclaim for its excellent direction, acting, and music composition. Notably, Ryan Coogler’s direction and Michael B. Jordan’s double performance caught the eye of many critics.
