Sinners director Ryan Coogler reacts to the new movie's opening box office win with an emotional letter. Released on April 18, Coolger's supernatural horror movie, starring Michael B. Jordan in a dual role, grossed over $48 million at the domestic box office and $63 million globally. Despite garnering high praise from critics and a glowing opening box office performance, some headlines presented the numbers as a long way from meeting its $90 million production budget, which received pushback from stars and filmmakers.
