The film has been lauded for its powerful performances, especially Jordan, who appeared in dual roles as twin brothers. It is different from a regular vampire movie as it offers a fresh take on vampire mythology, which intertwines with African-American spiritualism and Southern folklore. It holds a 98% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and earned an “A” CinemaScore, highlighting its widespread praise from both critics and audiences. It is an original horror story, not based on any movies or anything.
Based on Box Office Mojo‘s data, Michael B. Jordan’s film Sinners collected a strong $45.60 million on its opening weekend in the United States across 3,308 theatres. It collected $19.2 million on Friday, excluding the Thursday Previews, and $16.5 million on Saturday and $9.9 million on Sunday. It has surpassed Nope’s $44.4 million to register the biggest opening for an original horror post-COVID.
