Not since Jordan Peele's Get Out in pre-pandemic 2018 have scenes like this been witnessed at the box office, especially in the context of horror movies. Director Ryan Coogler's Sinners is all set to top the domestic charts for the second time in a row, with a hold so remarkable that it'll leave everybody stunned. Sinners grossed $13 million on its second Friday, as it heads towards a $42 million haul over the weekend. The vampire movie made $48 million in its debut frame, registering the top opening weekend haul for an R-rated horror movie in the post-pandemic era.

If Sinners lives up to expectations, it will have delivered a second weekend hold superior to that of Peele's Get Out, from -13% versus -15%. The film's running domestic haul stands at $90 million, which matches its reported production budget; it will pass the $100 million mark tomorrow. Incidentally, the movie was expected to generate around $30 million this weekend.
