I keep hearing good things about this movie. It's Ryan Coogler doing horror - a vampire movie set in 1930s Mississippi.
I was impressed that it's Friday to Friday drop from opening day was only 32%. And it's second weekend Saturday and Sunday were higher than the opening weekend Saturday and Sunday.
I might not get a chance to see it in the theater, but will make an effort to see it on streaming.
I think it's worth seeing in theaters. I just kind of refuse to go the one at the mall because it's a crappy theater...

This movie finally popped up on HBO and I was able to watch it. It was excellent. The performances by the cast were great. The story had a lot of small moving parts, but they blended well together into the overall story. It had some truly odd, but disturbing scenes.
It had plenty of great lore incorporated into the script. The vampires had some creepy stuff that made them really interesting. And I love the recent Hollywood trend of always making their eyes reflect light like an animal. I think it always makes for a really cool special effect.
There were only a few bits of plot hole or silly stuff, but these didn't take from the overall movie too badly.
In particular, the performance by Michael B. Jordan was great, playing the twins Smoke and Stack.
And Buddy Guy showed up in the end, playing the elder version of one of the main characters. I've seen him play in real life, so that was a treat.
I encourage everyone to see it.
