Sinners shocked Hollywood by igniting the weekend box office and taking the top spot away from two-time champ A Minecraft Movie.

Brand names, not filmmakers or stars, are said to rule the box office these days. But Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners,” led by twin Michael B. Jordans, proved a bloody exception to modern movie rules, launching with $45.6 million in ticket sales in U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to studio estimates Sunday.

'Sinners' achieved another benchmark as Warner Bros. announced that the movie is the first horror film to earn an A CinemaScore in over 35 years. Box Office: Michael B Jordan's 'Sinners' Replaces Jack Black's 'A Minecraft Movie' as Number 1 Movie in Theatres.
