Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan’s ‘Sinners’ Takes Box Office Crown With Solid $45 Million


"Sinners," an R-rated vampire thriller from director Ryan Coogler and star Michael B. Jordan, topped the box office in its opening weekend.

“ Sinners,” an R-rated original vampire thriller from director Ryan Coogler and star Michael B. Jordan, topped the box office in its opening weekend despite steep competition from “A Minecraft Movie.” “Sinners,” in which Jordan plays identical twins Smoke and Stack, takes place in the 1930s as the brothers return home to the South and open a juke joint… only for vampires to descend on the small town. Jordan has starred in several of Coogler’s films, including “Creed” and “Black Panther.” The duo had already demonstrated a flare for knowing what’ll sell tickets at multiplexes, but “Sinners,” as their first original swing, establishes them as the rare Hollywood talent who can fill auditoriums based on the strength of their names.
