Post Date: 27 April 2025 Sinners, which premieres in theaters today, marks the fifth collaboration between Coogler and Jordan. This time, Jordan plays twin brothers—Smoke and Stack—who return to their hometown hoping to leave their past behind. But what awaits them is even more: a town haunted by vampires and other monsters.

Despite the high-concept premise, Coogler sought to root the film in raw emotion. Inspired by the loss of his uncle James and the family stories he heard growing up, Sinners merges bold, stylized filmmaking with deeply personal history. “For me, the movie started with my relationship with my uncle who is from Mississippi,” Coogler told LeBron James in a conversation for Interview Magazine.
“He was the older male figure in my life... When I was working on Creed in 2015, he passed away. I had already made a film about the Bay with Fruitvale [Station], I was making a movie about Philly, I made a couple of movies about Wakanda, and now I’m coming back home in a different way. I’m looking at the American South, which is, outside of the continent of Africa, where Black people call home.”
Where can I watch Sinners free?
Sinners is currently only playing in theaters, so you’ll have to experience it on the big screen.
Technically, the film is pretty ambitious. Coogler shot it using ultra-widescreen formats—Ultra Panavision 70 and IMAX 65mm—giving it the immersive scope of a Hollywood epic, with an intimate touch. It’s a format Coogler chose deliberately to honor the theatrical experience. “I want people walking out of the theater and thinking, ‘Man, I had a full meal. They really care about the medium,’” he told LeBron James in Interview.
Coogler also made an 11-minute video with Kodak, which went viral, explaining his filming process in intricate detail.
Is Sinners streaming yet?
Although Warner Bros. has yet to announce an official streaming date for Sinners, the film is expected to hit Max in 2025, given the studio’s streaming partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery. Past Warner Bros. releases, like The Joker and The Color Purple, have also landed on the platform.
Black Panther director Ryan Coogler's Sinners has been exceeding expectations at the box office ever since it knocked A Minecraft Movie from the top spot when it debuted in theaters last weekend, and is now on track to becoming a bona fide box office juggernaut.
The movie added another $23 million since Monday for a domestic total of $71.5 million through Wednesday, and is now approaching $87 million. It should pass the $100 million milestone by Monday.
The period vampire drama, which stars Michael B. Jordan as identical twin brothers, recently made history with the highest domestic opening weekend for an original film of the decade, surpassing Jordan Peele’s Nope.
It's a great result for an R-rated movie with a reported production budget of $90 million, and analysts believe Sinners will continue to dominate the box office over the next couple of weeks at least - though it will face competition from video game horror flick Until Dawn and action sequel The Accountant 2.
The film will need to pass the $200 million milestone to turn a profit, but this shouldn't prove too difficult.
Sinners released off the back of an excellent marketing campaign and overwhelmingly positive reviews (98% on Rotten Tomatoes), with an A CinemaScore from audiences.
Coogler recently shared an emotional letter thanks audiences for showing up to theaters for the film.
“Eternal Gratitude. My heart is bursting with it. I want to thank each and every one of you who bought a ticket to see SINNERS. Who decided to drive to see the film in different formats. Who bought popcorn and a drink, booked a sitter and carpooled, and stood in the lobby afterwards and talked and made a friend. Who changed their work schedules. Who saw the film in groups. I want to thank you all who watched more than once, who recommended the film to others, both in person and on social media or on your text message chains. I had the gift of the opportunity of making a film inspired by my family and my ancestry but it was always a film that we wanted to make for audiences, in theaters. We always had our minds on you, the audience, and felt a deep responsibility to entertain you, and move you in the way only cinema can.
I believe in cinema. I believe in the theatrical experience. I believe it is a necessary pillar of society. It's why me and so many of my colleagues have dedicated our lives to the craft. We don't get to do what we do if you don't show up. The global theatrical audience has allowed me to dream, find a career and build a more sustainable life for me and my family. And the only way that I know how to thank you for that, is by continuing to mine my personal human experience and my relationships for more stories to bring to you in cinematic language. To see your response to the film has reinvigorated me and many others who believe in this art form.”
Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers (Jordan) return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.
“You keep dancing with the devil, one day he’s gonna follow you home.”
Written and directed by Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Coogler, Sinners stars Jordan (the Black Panther and Creed franchises) in a dual role, joined by Oscar nominee Hailee Steinfeld (Bumblebee, True Grit), Jack O’Connell (Ferrari), Wunmi Mosaku (Passenger), Jayme Lawson (The Woman King), Omar Miller (True Lies), Miles Caton, and Delroy Lindo (Da 5 Bloods).
The film is produced by Zinzi Coogler, Sev Ohanian and Ryan Coogler. The executive producers are Ludwig Göransson, Will Greenfield and Rebecca Cho.
