Horror movies are often one-week wonders at the box office, but Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners” is defying the odds and proving to be true event cinema.

Sinners” towered over the box office again, scoring a mighty $45 million in its second weekend of release. Ticket sales declined a mere 6% from its $48 million start, making “Sinners” the rare film with a sophomore outing that nearly matched its debut.

Ben Affleck's "The Accountant 2" appears to be no match for Michael B. Jordan and Ryan Coogler's vampire thriller "Sinners" at the weekend box office.
