Vampires beat video games at the box office this weekend.
Sinners, the Michael B. Jordan vampire thriller from Black Panther director Ryan Coogler, knocked A Minecraft Movie out of the top spot this weekend, bringing in $45.6 million,Box Office Mojo reports.
According to Variety, Sinners now boasts the biggest debut numbers for a film based on an original idea — as opposed to a sequel or a previously existing piece of media, such as a book — since the 2019 horror film Us. That movie, written and directed by Jordan Peele, brought in $71 million.
A Minecraft Movie, which topped the box office for the past two weeks, slipped to number two with $41.3 million, making the film’s total box office gross now over $344 million.
Films rounding out the top five include The King of Kings at number three with $17.27 million; The Amateur at number four with $7.2 million; and Warfare at number five with $4.85 million.
The top 10 this week also includes a movie that’s two decades old. The 20th anniversary re-release of Pride & Prejudice, starring Keira Knightley, lands at number eight with $2.7 million.
