Vampire Thriller ‘Sinners' Already Stakes Top Spot On Streaming Charts
Michael B Jordan in "Sinners." Warner Bros. Pictures Sinners — Ryan Coogler's blockbuster horror thriller starring Michael B. Jordan — is already a big hit on digital streaming. Written and directed by Coogler, Sinners opened in theaters on April 18. The logline for Sinners reads, 'Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.' Coogler's Black Panther and Creed movie series collaborator Jordan stars in Sinners as twin brothers, Smoke and Stack. Rated R, Sinners also stars Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton, Jack O'Connell, Wumni Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller and Delroy Lindo. Produced by Warner Bros., Sinners premiered on digital streaming via premium video on demand last Tuesday on such platforms as Apple TV, Fandango at Home, Movies Anywhere, Prime Video and YouTube. As of Sunday, Sinners is already the No. 1 top seller on Prime Video's streaming charts, ahead of Jack Black and Jason Momoa's A Minecraft Movie, which is another Warner Bros. release. Figures for the actual number of purchases or rentals on the Prime Video charts, however, are not available. Also as of this publication, Sinners is in the top spot of Fandango at Home's Top 200 chart and is trending at No. 1 on Movies Anywhere. While Sinners is available on digital streaming, the film is still attracting audiences in theaters. Sinners is projected by Deadline to earn $2.8 million from 1,518 theaters through Sunday, which will boost the film's domestic gross to $272.5 million in its eighth week of release. Combined with the film's $82.6 million in international ticket sales, Sinners has a worldwide tally of $353.1 million to date against a $90 million production budget before prints and advertising costs, per The Numbers. While Sinners has become a blockbuster hit, Ryan Coogler said in a recent interview with Ebony Magazine that he's never given thought to making a sequel to the film. 'I've been in a space of making franchise films for a bit, so I wanted to get away from that,' Coogler told Ebony. 'I was looking forward to working on a film that felt original and personal to me and had an appetite for delivering something to audiences that was original and unique.' Instead, Coogler added, he 'wanted the movie to feel like a full meal: your appetizers, starters, entrees and desserts, I wanted all of it there. 'I wanted it to be a holistic and finished thing. That was how I was asked all about it,' Coogler explained to Ebony. 'That was always my intention.' Sinners, starring Michael B. Jordan, is still playing in theaters and available for purchase or rent on PVOD.

WWE's 'The Miz' suggests Chiefs star for American Gladiators, talks Browns fandom
WWE's 'The Miz' suggests Chiefs star for American Gladiators, talks Browns fandom This week, Chiefs Wire's Ed Easton Jr. spoke to Mike 'The Miz' Mizanin about his participation in this year's American Century Championship, which will take place July 9-13 at Edgewood Tahoe, his earliest memory of the Cleveland Browns fandom, and hosting the upcoming American Gladiators reboot while name dropping Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce as an ideal Gladiator. The Kelce brothers are confirmed to be Miz's competition again this year, as he will seek a better finish than last year's tournament. Miz is an Ohio native and a die-hard Browns fan, having witnessed the franchise's ups and downs. Cleveland's last divisional round postseason appearance was against Kansas City in 2020, when they lost at Arrowhead Stadium 17-22. He recalled his earliest memory of the team as a child attending school, singing about their quarterback, Bernie Kosar. "I believe I was in, like, fifth grade, and I was going to school in the bus, and we were just singing, Bernie, Bernie, oh baby Super Bowl," said Miz, "So, yeah, I remember that verbatim, and I also remember us not making it to the Super Bowl. I believe that year was either the fumble or the drive. I'm not sure which one, but those are the two things that really screwed us." The former WWE champion was recently named host of the upcoming reboot of American Gladiators on Prime Video. "I can't wait. I think, with this show, we're gonna, you know, give a nod to what, what American Gladiators was in the past, and elevate it and put it, you know, with 100% and go literally, ball to the wall, if you will." said Miz, "I mean, American Gladiators is a staple, and now to be the host of American Gladiators. It's an absolute honor, and I take it very, very seriously. I want to make sure that this show is everything people imagine it to be and more, and it will be. I can't wait for people to meet the Gladiators. I can't wait for people to see the events, and I can't wait for people to see me as the host." During a recent appearance on NFL Network's Good Morning Football, Miz suggested that Chiefs star Travis Kelce would make a great addition to the show as a Gladiator. "I'm gonna go with two tight ends. I'm gonna go, George Kittle, I'm gonna go with Travis Kelce, because of personality," said Miz during the broadcast, "A Gladiator has to have a great personality, and got to be out there, not only do that be physically dominating but they got to be someone, either you're root for, or you're gonna boo kind of like a WWE superstar." The annual tournament awards $750,000 in prize money, much of which the celebrity players donate to local and national charities. Over the years, nearly $8 million has been donated to non-profit causes. Network television exposure on NBC, along with a first-place prize of $150,000, makes the celebrity tournament one of the most prestigious in the golf world.
