Saw it in IMAX with my girl on Friday. Only reason I missed opening weekend was because I had to be out of town. Loved it. Every single bit of it. Happy to see that word of mouth is spreading.

Me my Fiance' and best friend saw it last night. Shyt was fire. We loved it. Wanna see it again in IMAX.
Haven’t felt like this since get out. That’s one of the last original ip movies I remember seeing and going “yup go see that” and damn near everyone feeling the same way lol.
This is the reason for the success and it's a genius move:
If you saw it on a regular screen, someone's going to tell you to see it in IMAX. You saw it on IMAX someone's going to tell you to see it in ScreenX. You saw it on ScreenX someone's going to tell you to see it in...you get the point.
He made a movie where the experience changes depending on the theater so anyone who enjoyed the movie will be motivated to see it again elsewhere. The budget is under $100 million so that's another smart move and the release date kept them from competing with any big movies. Hopefully it has legs and hits the break even point in the next few weeks.

Yes "Avatar" was monster but let me be more specific to my point. The qualifier is 40+ Million Opening weekends and less than 10% drop non-holiday 2nd weekend. "Avatar" 2nd weekend was Christmas Holiday. If "Sinners" hold is under 10%, and it makes over 40 million again, yes that would be rare for a non-holiday 2nd weekend. There's been 4 films that had single digit drops 2nd weekend that made over 40 Million their opening weekend.
As you posted, "Avatar" was one, "How the Grind Stole Christmas", "Meet the Fockers" and "Twisters" were the others. Only "Twisters" 2nd weekend wasn't a holiday (I saw this in 96) and it made less than 40 Million it's 2nd weekend. Avatar- Christmas, Grinch - Thanksgiving, Fockers - New Years. All had holiday boost, Now "Sinners" did open on Easter but that's not considered a huge box office holiday like the others had on their 2nd weekends. 'Shrek" does have the record as it increased it's 2nd weekend but that was a Memorial Day Holiday. Again we have to see what the final numbers are when estimates are released.

Talked about it a few nights ago with the bartender and this other woman while waiting on my date. Both white women and they absolutely LOVED the movie. Word of mouth done made this movie spread like wildfire
