Ryan Coogler’s Sinners Nears $330M Global Box Office

Ryan Coogler's horror film "Sinners," set in the 1930s Mississippi Delta and featuring Michael B. Jordan in dual roles as twin brothers, has become a major box office success, projected to earn over $330 million globally. This positions it among the highest-grossing original horror films, comparable to Jordan Peele's "Get Out" and John Krasinski's "A Quiet Place," and surpassing franchise origins like John Carpenter’s "Halloween." The film blends supernatural vampire elements with period detail, exploring themes such as cultural identity and gentrification while evoking a Southern vampire fantasia. Coogler envisioned "Sinners" as a complete, standalone cinematic experience, emphasizing a holistic narrative rather than a franchise. Its production design, led by Hannah Beachler, authentically recreates the 1930s Southern setting, enhancing the film’s immersive atmosphere. Critics and audiences recognize "Sinners" as a fresh, ambitious contribution to horror cinema, drawing stylistic influences from classics like "From Dusk Till Dawn."
