A post from Ben Stiller (@BenStiller ) on X, posted 6 hours ago, reads: "In what universe does a 60 million dollar opening for an original studio movie warrant this headline?" Below, a quote from Variety (@Variety ), posted 13 hours ago, states: "'Sinners' has amassed $61 million in its global debut. It’s a great result for an original, R-rated horror film, yet the Warner Bros. release has a $90 million price tag before global marketing expenses, so profitability remains a ways away. tinyurl.com/5crb5f83." The post includes an image of a scene from the movie "Sinners," showing five people in a dimly lit setting, with one man in the center wearing a tank top and holding a weapon, surrounded by others in period clothing.
