Sinners Surges as Top Grossing Vampire Film, Could Beat Twilight

The new vampire film Sinners, directed by Ryan Coogler, has quickly risen to become one of the highest-grossing vampire movies in North America. With a domestic gross of $122 million, it has surpassed Van Helsing to claim the ninth spot in the list of top-grossing vampire films. Expectations point toward Sinners potentially overtaking the first Hotel Transylvania and even Twilight, with many viewers flocking to theaters to see it. Globally, the film has amassed $161.6 million after just two weekends in cinemas, presenting the opportunity for it to reach over $300 million before its run concludes. Critics have praised the film, which features a blend of horror and music, and it currently holds a strong review score of 9/10.

While it's still uncertain, Sinners has the potential to surpass Twilight's North American gross of $193 million if it maintains its impressive box office performance. The film's popularity suggests that it could attract more viewers, especially if it continues to show strong attendance in theaters.

Sinners marks Ryan Coogler's venture into the horror genre, featuring a compelling storyline about twin brothers played by Michael B. Jordan, who return to their Mississippi hometown in 1932. This setting, combined with its unique blend of music and horror elements, has resonated well with audiences, further driving its box office success as it challenges the nostalgia and fanfare associated with previous vampire hits like Twilight.
