That’s really not how these things tend to break…but it’s possible.
It is a well written movie with a mixture of genres which has excellent word of mouth….the best reviewed movie of the year so far…also think some that don’t have an interest in horror figured it was not for them…. Went the 2nd weekend as it is not just a schlocky horror movie and could not resistt the great buzz…. I firmly believe Sinners will be remembered in award season despite the April release

So the fact that Jordan and steinfeld are pretty high on the eye candy list doesn’t help?

None for Sinners; with a name like that I'd remember. I don't remember any for Minecraft. At least along I-15 yesterday.
Guru?!? Flattery like that will convince me to buy the second round!
You scared me for a few moments, because I thought I had forgotten a movie from the Disney family of studios. But then I went to Google and found out Sinners is from Warner Bros., so I'm not sure why I'd be expected to comment on a non-Disney movie?

I heard a review for Thunderbolts on NPR this afternoon. I had no idea that Julia Louis Dreyfus was in it!?
She's a favorite of mine for decades, and Veep is some of the funniest stuff on TV in the past 20 years.
That was about the highlight of the NPR review for Thunderbolts. They did that typical NPR thing where they sort of faintly praised it in coded language while subtly alluding to the fact that Marvel really needs a big hit after the past few years of box office troubles. So for those who speak NPR, it seemed to get about a B+ rating.
Thunderbolts opens this weekend with a huge theater count; 4,330! Snow White and The Amateur give up about 1,200 theaters at the same time.

This is the comparison fallacy…
Comparing sinners to Disney is not valid.
Sinners is not a tent pole…which 90% of Disney movies are made to be.
It’s funny how one day all “cinema” is unique and it’s about the art
…and when that doesn’t wash…every move is on equal footing…
The posts are on roller skates with grease

Did you see the movie? I think you're overplaying the "eye candy" here, while both are attractive off-screen they aren't specifically played up as such in the movie as its set in the 1930s.

It’s a horror movie…so definitely not my jam in the theaters.
But I wasn’t talking about the movie appearances
I’ve heard Jordan and the phrase “hall pass” mentioned together like a 100 times…all over the place. Like a few times in sports media…
Try not to think about it too much.
And steinfeld has matured quite nicely since the early days…
Just saying…pretty people draw…whether it’s conscious or subconscious

MCU hasn’t had a film really exceed expectations since like G3? Not quite sure even that one did

She was in one of their marvel shows I didn’t watch, right?

Lol, by that measure almost every Hollywood movie has the "pretty person eye candy" draw.

Not necessarily
There’s alot of “looks”…but draw is more than that…
But I get it…this movie has found that unique horror niche

She has cameos in Black Widow, Wakanda Forever, and then in Falcon/Winter Soldier.
This will be the first movie where its more than a cameo.

Seeing some good word of mouth from some of the common people on some Discords I'm on re: Thunderbolts*
"Wow, Thunderbolts* was actually great. Watching it genuinely made me care about the MCU again. Quality-wise, it felt in line with a lot of the good phase 3 movies."
"Thunderbolts* was very very good! Probably top 3 post Endgame Marvel movies. Genuinely got moved in one scene. Definitely recommend"
"Just got out of Thunderbolts* - excellent movie, very fun, tackles several big topics without cramming it down your throat."
