Our Take On Sinners' RT Score
This Is A Good Sign For Sinners' Box Office
Sinners' impressiveRotten Tomatoes debut is a good sign for the movie’s box office. Coogler’s films have generally done well on a financial level, but this is the first time the director has helmed a completely original story, with no based-on-a-true story narrative or existing IP to work off of. While a riskier effort than an MCU movie, the glowing reviews ofSinnersmake it more likely that the film will succeed theatrically. If it does take off in theaters,Sinnerscould become the first mega-hit R-rated movie in 2025.
