Sinners, a high-budget live-action original horror movie, maintained its success at the box office.
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, a 20-year-old sci-fi flick, dominated the box office upon its re-release.
The success of Sinners shows that original movies can still succeed, while the re-release of Revenge of the Sith highlights the power of nostalgic comfort food.
The weekend box office results suggest that audiences want a mix of both new ideas and nostalgic rereleases.
