More specifically, Sinners now holds the record for smallest second-weekend drop of any film opening to more than $40 million since 2009’s Avatar, and any R-rated film, period, the outlet reports. The $90 million title’s domestic tally has now surpassed $120 million,

It’s certainly possible that Sinners ends up with a domestic haul of $230 million, a truly fantastic result for an entirely original $90 million R-rated horror film. When lined up against other vampire movies, that would only put it behind the three Twilight sequels and I Am Legend.

Ryan Coogler's vampire film had an extraordinary second weekend at the box office. It's a victory for a wholly original big-budget film in a cinema landscape of familiar franchises.
