This was pretty damn good and had one sequence that was one of those rare moments were I felt like the movie was lifting me out of my chair.

Coogler’s 5/5 as a director with his floor being very good and ceiling being flat out great. I want to do some film theory reading and see this at least one more time because as much as I liked it, I could tell while watching that there is all kinds of stuff that went over my head. Even with that said, right now, I’d call this the best of 2025 at this point.

Also, if you’re gonna check it out, there’s a mid-credit scene that seems like it really should have been the end of the movie. You’ll want to stick around to see it.

I cannot agree more. No time now, but I'll expound on this movie in a spoiler another time.

I’ve seen multiple stories all in the same vein - a good opening box office, but they’re being negative about the budget which really wasn’t that high

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a story about a #1 movie at the box office where the focus was on the fact it wasn’t profitable after its first weekend.

Original idea makes almost 50 million in this market and people are talking about the budget… which was only 90 million? Incredible stupidity and wouldn’t be surprised if this is coming from some kind of BS anti-woke ideological crap seeping through.

Saw this again today at the Chinese Theater IMAX. This movie is great. And that one sequence I mentioned earlier in that format was just freaking awesome

Read some speculation that the movie bosses are afraid that the deal Coogler made (share of ticket sales upfront, he owns the movie entirely after 25 years) will become a standard so some of the other studios wouldn't be upset if it didn't pan out.



Read another story today that the share of the audience that was black was 38% - tying it with Get Out as the blackest opening day audience ever.

That whole angle is stupid. There are a handful of directors who have this clout and that’s it. The idea that this is gonna become the norm is pure fantasy.

No headlines from Variety about the big weekday performances of Sinners, bagging 7 and 8 million bucks on Monday and Tuesday?

i'll be surprised if Accountant 2 makes that much. First one made 24.7 million, but that movie came out 7 years ago (I think) and movie-going habits just aren't what they were back then.

Part of the problem is by waiting 7 years many people will want to watch the first film again before seeing the second one in theaters.

That's exactly what happened when my wife saw the tailer for it before we watched A Working Man. She said it looked good but to really follow the story she'd want to see the first film again.

‘Sinners’ Lands First ‘A’ CinemaScore Ever For Horror Movie

‘Sinners’ Lands First ‘A’ CinemaScore Ever For Horror Movie

Warner Bros' Sinners is in rare air becoming the first horror movie ever to earn an A CinemaScore from audiences in the exit poll org's 47-year existence.

Warner Bros’ Sinners is in rare air becoming the first horror movie ever to earn an A CinemaScore from audiences in the exit poll org’s 47-year existence.

Typically, CinemaScore audiences are hard on horror film: If you get anything in the B-range, that’s amazing (the first A Quiet Place earned a B+). If you’re a C, you’re even safe. Outside of that the anomaly A- grades went to Five Nights at Freddies, Get Out, The Lost Boys, The Conjuring, The Conjuring 2, A Quiet Place Part II, Child’s Play 2. However, no other film but Ryan Coogler’s Sinners has notched an A.
