Ryan Coogler's "Sinners" is poised to become a major box office success for Warner Bros., achieving an impressive $45 million USD opening over Easter Weekend, far surpassing initial expectations. Set in the Mississippi Delta in 1932, the film stars Michael B. Jordan as twin brothers who confront a supernatural entity upon returning to their hometown for a fresh start. The cast includes notable actors such as Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton, Jack O'Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller, Buddy Guy, and Delroy Lindo.
The film has garnered widespread acclaim, becoming the first horror movie to earn an “A” CinemaScore. Previous horror films like "A Quiet Place" and "Get Out" came close, with scores of B+ and A- respectively, but none have achieved the milestone that "Sinners" has. Originally projected to open at around $30 million USD, the film's strong performance suggests it will continue to thrive at the box office. This success is particularly noteworthy for Warner Bros., marking the first time in over a decade that the studio has released two films each earning over $40 million USD in the same weekend, alongside "A Minecraft Movie" featuring Jack Black and Jason Momoa.
Trivia:
- "Sinners" is the first horror film to receive an “A” CinemaScore, a significant achievement in the genre.
