There haven’t been many slow weekends on the box office front lately, and this is likely to be among the last for a little awhile as summer truly begins to ramp up.

The top “original” vampire movie box office opening (so, not TWILIGHT) belongs to HOTEL TRANSYLVANIA’s $42.5 million 13 years ago. Will Ryan Coogler’s SINNERS take a bite out of that benchmark?
Will the horror genre finally deliver its first breakout since NOSFERATU?
