“Audiences have spoken and we listened. If ever a film needed to be experienced in this incredible larger-than-life format, it’sSinners,” Warner Bros. Pictures president of global distribution Jeff Goldstein said in a statement. “Ryan has delivered a film that has been embraced by fans who appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into creating a film for this screen-filling format, and we wanted to give everyone the opportunity to see it — or see it again — in 70mm IMAX.”
Written and directed byRyan Coogler,Sinnersfollows twins and World War I veterans Smoke and Stack (Michael B. Jordanin dual roles) who return to the Mississippi Delta with plans to open a juke joint for the Black community. An Irish vampire named Remmick (Jack O’Connell) wreaks havoc, turning opening night into a fight for survival.
Sinnershas been met with critical acclaim and an even stronger audience reaction.Sinnersopened to $48 million domestically, but what’s even more impressive was its second-weekend tally of $45.7 million. That’s a less than 5% drop, givingSinnersall of the momentum for a long box office run. Coogler’s film has grossed $181 million worldwide as of May 1.
