5 Reasons Why Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan’s ‘Sinners’ Ruled the Box Office


Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan's "Sinners" was No. 1 at the box office over the weekend, earning $45 million domestically and $61 million globally

Although “Sinners” is starting slow internationally, earning $15.4 million last weekend from 71 markets, box office watchers believe the film’s glowing reviews will provide the momentum needed to stick around on the big screen. Jordan pulls off double duty in the 1930s-set “Sinners,” playing identical twins Smoke and Stack who return home to the South after World War I and open a juke joint… only for vampires to descend on the small town. Sustained enthusiasm for premium screens, a format championed by filmmakers like Christopher Nolan and Denis Villeneuve, has been a major win for studios and theater owners because admission for those auditoriums are pricier than the average movie ticket.
