Several directors working today can compete with Ryan Koggler in terms of great influence. Koggler helped turn Marvel's "Black Panther" into a generally important hit, the one that exceeded the superhero genre to become a definitive blockbuster for centuries. He also successfully revived the Rocky franchise with "Creed". But Kogler, again about actor Michael B. Jordandan finally returns to the original cinema with "sinners". It's a horror movie, and the genre is hot right now, but it's also very expensive. Can Koggler's big budget vampire become a big enough hit to justify its costs? That's the question.

As it stands, "sinners" see a domestic open weekend in the range of $ 30 to $ 40 million, after Box office theory. That number is in line with earlier tracking, making the film $ 40 million in its debut. For most horror movies, it would be Ellwable news. However, this is the only case. Warner Bros. has concluded a $ 90m deal to acquire rights to distribute this. Unfortunately, the budget seems to rise closer to $ 100 million.

Part of the reason that the horror is so appealing to Hollywood is that these films can be made in cheap. It is a suggestion for a low risk/high reward. In this case, the $ 100m budget (before marketing) puts it firmly on the blockbuster territory. That means we probably see a movie that should do somewhere in the $ 300 million neighborhood globally to break even the box office. That's a high order.

Remember, these follow -up numbers were largely outlined The "sinners" reactions began to arrive online, which mostly shone. If paying public members in Moviegoing agrees with critics here, the word in the mouth can carry this film far above that brand of $ 40 million. More importantly, it can carry the film for the coming weeks, which will be needed in the light of the price price.

The film focuses on the twin brothers (both featured by Jordanordan) who are trying to leave their troubled lives behind. They are returning to their hometown to begin again and discover that terrible evil is waiting to be welcomed. Following are vampire shenanigans. The cast includes the likes of Haile Steinfeld ("Bumberebee", Jackec O'Connell ("Ferrari"), Wunii Mosaku ("Traveler", Jayeim Lawson ("Womanic King"), Omar Miller ("" "

Black Panther made more than $ 1.3 billion in box office and earn a nomination for the best picture. Koggler's name means something. Jordan's name means something. That's good. The problem? Expensive horror movies rarely work, With something like "World War Z" (which made $ 540 million worldwide with a budget of $ 190 million) serving as a relatively rare exception to the rule.

The other question is that vampire films tend to do not do good, especially in recent years, with Renfield, "Demter's last trip", and "Abigail" all serve as disappointments. Nosferatu ($ 181 million worldwide) was able to succeed, but because her budget was only $ 50 million. The good news for Koggler and the company, despite the great critical buzz so far, is that the $ 40 million opening would set up the film for success. Alien: Romulu opened $ 42 million last year up to $ 350 million worldwide. In the best scenario, this can work. And if one is capable of delivering a scenario for the best case, it's a combination of Koggler and Jordandan.
