Willing to bet it out earns the domestic total of all CBMs this year.

And the moral of the story is, if these film execs would greenlight more stories from black creatives centered on black casts that's less about slavery and trauma and more about the supernatural, drama and adventure, they'd stand to make even MORE money.

Take the hint Hollywood. We've been saying this for years.

John Singleton was sidelined during his prime years delivering underappreciated, quality mid budget classics like Four Brothers and Shaft. He would have been proud to see the success of Sinners.

The only thing that I've enjoyed as much as this flick (and its OST) is the online discourse amongst black Christians trying real hard to prove this movie is about sky daddy's love and not a flat-out rejection of westernized religion.

I know that some black Christians can do the most and be annoyingly hypocritical while doing so, but I have an unpopular opinion... I think that this film served two masters. It exhibits and didn't demonize the real practice of Hoodoo and also showed Christianity in a good light. It didn't put one over the other and showed the power of both.

Or at least that's what I got from it.

I have so much hope for The Children of Blood and Bone, hope ppl give it a chance. The cast alone is amazing.

I dunno, it called out it out as the religion of colonizers.

Pick Poor Robin Clean

Edit: obviously the audio cant play on here like on my phone. However, man this movie really does feel like a bunch of different main characters/different movies coming together.

A traveling vampire movie just happened to meet up with a Juke Joint Blues movie.

I thought the first half of this movie was amazing build up and character development. Then it just didn’t land to me once we get into things. So it was just good to ok and not great. Should’ve asked for help on the horror side of things

 

[Sithborg]

I don't think horror was the big point of the latter half.

So that means it can be done poorly?

 

[Sawyer]

90s Danny Glover would’ve been a little young, I think.

Anyone else still obsessed with this? Lol.
I have the soundtrack near enough on repeat most days.
Seen it 3 times in the cinema too - just loved it.

 

[DarkKnight88]

Seems Sinners beat Thunderbolts on Thursday. Maybe it’ll pull ahead of it for the weekend!

Glad Ryan got this out before Ironheart dropped.

I think Disney would have tried to put a stranglehold on BP3 and his XFlies show. Or at least this lets him know that he needs to be more hands on in producer role/XFiles.

Idk if Ironheart will be bad, but its one of those things were social media/YouTube has already decided it. So its an incoming L sadly.

I'm not expecting Ironheart to be another Snow White situation when it comes to social media but I do fear it'll probably be buried without much discussion around it like most of the MCU Disney+ shows have been over the last two years or so.

It'll get the Echo treatment minus the Hulu release.

I'm at least expecting it to get more attention than Echo since Riri had a significant role in Wakanda Forever. Echo felt like it was swept under the rug as soon as it dropped.

I actually think Echo at least had a trailer showing blood/violence which wasn't seen in the MCU. So in a way it gave it a pass from overwhelming hate right away. Even a few people had hope it would be the "Andor" of MCU TV. Obviously didnt work out that way.

This was Marvel seemingly tried to hide the series giving it the shortest time between release date for a trailer. It also has the "replacing Tony/Ironman" hate that people even had going back to the comics. She really needed her debut to be Miles Morales in Spider Verse level of bullet proof to avoid hate. The fact that it doesn't appear "good" sort of killed it. I think it will be Snow White level of hate or best case Little Mermaid where the lead can still recover.

Its all the more the reason Ryan should probably focus on spinoffs of Sinners or just make more original IP. Cause I gotta say the more I think about his X-Files show the more I think he really needs to get Scully and Mulder first. Sort of grandfather in whatever new characters.

Riri needed to be introduced with Tony to have a better shot.

This is so awesome! Great film!

 

[The Panhandler]

Well deserved for a phenomenal film

POSITIVITY!

Has Coogler talked about a sequel or, did he want this to be a standalone?
