Two of Hollywood’s biggest stars have clapped back against a report putting down Ryan Coogler’s new original horror movie, Sinners. The film opened with $63 million at the global box office, including $48 million from domestic earnings and $15 million from international markets. The film was produced for a reported budget of $90 million, meaning it still needs around $180 million to break even. Still, a $63 million start is outstanding for an original horror movie with such strong reviews. However, Variety’s box office story for Sinners’ opening weekend performance took a negative angle, citing “a $90 million price tag before global marketing expenses” that leaves “profitability a ways away.” This led Ben Stiller and Patrick Schwarzenegger to respond in social media posts, which can be found below.
