And it was the highest ever domestic opening weekend. These are huge numbers. Does box office matter? Yes. Is it interesting? That's debatable. But it is great for cinemas to be packed out, and with more than one film too.

Turns out, it was actually $927 million. They've got to be happy with that. Everyone should be happy with that, with this and The Odyssey, cinemas are full again. Yes, big blockbusters blah blah blah, but it's a good thing.

No one has said that, though? A lot of the hype around both of those films is the low budgets and that they were made by first time filmmakers. Sinners was a large budget film made by a director with multiple Oscar nominations already. If you can't see the difference, you're ignoring it.

Rewatched the first X Files movie. It's bloody brilliant. And it's another late 90s movie that just looks like a movie, even though it was TV spin off, it looks and feels more genuinely like a proper movie that most things made today. We really lost something in the jump to digital.
