In a world where we're seeing endless sequels and reboots, Sinners has become a signpost for everyone who loves original films. It's been doing fantastic at the box office, and is set to crush even more on home video. We've covered its deleted scenes and a lot on director Ryan Coogler, and now, it's taking the crown as one of the highest-grossing original films in 15 years. Inception (2010) — $292 millionSinners (2025) — $275 millionGravity (2013) — $274 millionDunkirk (2017) — $189 millionA Quiet Place (2018) — $188 millionInterstellar (2014) — $188 millionGet Out (2017) — $176 millionUs (2019) — $175 millionBridesmaids (2011) — $169 millionThe Heat (2013) — $159 millionLa La Land (2016) — $151 millionThis is a murderers' row of movies, and Sinners has crept toward the top. While its overseas numbers have been steady and topped at around $80 million, it's been a stalwart domestically. Audiences crave original movies, they want stories where they have no idea what could happen next, and I'm happy a bet like this paid off for Coogler and for Warner Bros. I hope this kind of point of view stretches to other studios. Money is being left on the table by not making a bunch of these films every year. Let me know what you think in the comments. ...
