But in terms of more current releases that also were blockbusters, Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners” is now available to own at home as opposed to just streaming on HBO (yes, that’s right, HBO!) Max in less visually pristine terms. The vampire saga — starring Michael B. Jordan as twin brothers in the 1930s South who take over a juke joint but must face off some juicy, blood-sucking foes in the process — spent nine weeks in the box office top 10 this year and grossed more than $278 million.
