Sinners currently dominates 28 Years Later 73–27
The original outruns the revival — a signal to watch, not yet believe.
The Verdict Class of 2025
This matchup has 11 votes. The picture may shift as more people weigh in.
A gap this wide toward Sinners, this early, should be read with caution: it's the original with no franchise beating the legacy sequel, the opposite of what name recognition usually produces. Either Coogler's vampire-blues gamble is connecting hard on its own terms — the music, the period menace, Jordan doing something new — or 11 votes is simply too small a sample to trust, and both can be true at once. 28 Years Later is no underdog here; Boyle and Garland's rage-virus revival is exactly the kind of film that tends to win these early. When the count runs this far against the familiar name, the honest move is to flag it as a signal worth watching rather than a verdict worth believing.
