Much to the chagrin of certain outlets (you know the one), Sinners continues to prove its power. Despite some trade publications trying to say that its success wasn’t “enough,” Sinners has now taken the title of the highest-grossing original film since 2010.
As Pajiba pointed out, this is the first original film of the 2020s to crack into the top films. To be fair, we’ve only really had roughly 2 to 3 years of opportunities for original films in the 2020s and movie theaters were still recovering from the pandemic. But Sinners breaking into the top films is an exciting feat. Especially since there were people, as previously hinted about, who were trying to downplay the film’s success.
