Box Office Sensation: Ryan Coogler's ‘Sinners’ Breaks Records and Turns Hollywood Upside Down

Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners” has emerged as one of the most successful original films of the decade. In merely four weeks, it surpassed $215 million at the North American box office, becoming the first original film to hit $200 million domestically since Pixar's "Coco" in 2017 and the first live-action film since "Gravity." This horror-musical, starring Michael B. Jordan and Hailee Steinfeld, garnered $22 million during its fourth weekend alone. With a worldwide total of $284.2 million, “Sinners” is expected to approach $400 million. Coogler’s innovative agreement with Warner Bros. ensures his ownership rights for 25 years.
