A tale of two movies: Similar deal structures. Similar budgets. One made $45M from 3300 screens, post pandemic, and won the weekend. The other made $41M from 3600 screens pre-pandemic, and placed second. And yet this is the coverage.

This is the interview where Ryan dropped the info:

My husband went to see Sinners today at the Vaughan Imax location b/c Ryan Coogler said there would be ltd edition film prints for viewers opening weekend and this was the only Canadian location listed. But no prints were available. I need answers @CineplexMovies @warnerbros

neither BAFTA nor The Academy included Tony Todd in their In Memoriam. livid doesn’t cover it. rest in peace, king 🫶🏻 #oscars

NO OTHER LAND!!!! No Other Land now has more Oscars than it did distribution offers. a great and enduring shame upon the American film industry. free Palestine forever.

Yes Paul! I’m crying happy tears. Those Wicked costumes were exquisite. #Oscars

Not me crying at the very start of the Oscars. My goodness. Cynthia Erivo.

Challengers snub for original score is fucking insane. #Oscars

Government is suppressing postal workers. It should be learning from their innovative ideas

This is the most ridiculous, frustrating waste of resources and demonstrates this government’s deep contempt for this city.

Hey folks, I directed a doc series about systemic racism faced by Black artists in the music industry featuring Nile Rodgers, Smokey Robinson, Chaka Khan, Gloria Gaynore, Ice T, Master P, Monie Love & many more legends. Coming to @CBC & @BBC - https://t.co/zBPsQy3Xp8

I wonder how many Daniel Kaluuya's we've missed out on in the last two decades because the UK's creative industries refuse to recognise that casting from the same private schools can only get you so far. The story of Skins is a story of investing in working class talent.

I’m deeply invested. Very few shows have me on my feet yelling at the screen. @netflix imma need y’all to please hurry up and confirm Season 2

Toronto has lost one of its strongest activist and community leaders. He was not only fighting for the Black community but for all Torontonians to be safe from gun violence. RIP Brother Louis! Thank you for the respect ⁦@JoannaLavoie⁩

Toronto sits in a basin surrounded by the Greenbelt, a system of woods and wetlands that perform a crucial role of absorbing water. The Ontario government recently voted to open them up to development, paving them over, giving rainfall nowhere to go. It's only gonna get worse.

My heart is so heavy. My amazing friend, mentor, Louis March is currently fighting for his life after a medical emergency. Pls pour all your love and prayer onto him to recover. 💙💛
