Get ready for a chilling tale of homecoming and ancient evils with Sinners! After slaying in theaters, Sinners has finally sunk its fangs into a streaming release date!
This project marks a thrilling departure for Black Panther director Ryan Coogler, as he dives deep into the horror genre with a unique and genre-fluid approach. He reportedly drew inspiration from classics like From Dusk Till Dawn and The Faculty, as well as the works of John Carpenter, blending influences to forge something truly original.
Michael B. Jordan takes on the challenging task of portraying dual roles in Sinners. The story centers on twin brothers, played by Jordan, who seek to escape their troubled pasts by returning to their hometown. However, their hopes for a new beginning are quickly shattered when they discover that a far greater evil awaits them, eager to welcome them back into its fold.
A Massive Hit
Beyond its critical reception, Sinners has also made cinematic history! With $275.7 million grossed domestically, it has officially surpassed Jaws ($273.66 million) to become the second-highest-grossing horror film ever domestically, trailing only It (2017), which grossed $ 328.8 million. However, since It is a remake of a well-known IP, Sinners now proudly holds the top spot as the highest-grossing original horror film ever in the U.S.!
A Stellar Cast and Dream Team Crew
Joining Michael B. Jordan in this chilling endeavor is a stellar cast, including Oscar nominee Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit), Jack O’Connell (Ferrari), Wunmi Mosaku (Passenger), and Jayme Lawson (The Woman King). Omar Benson Miller (True Lies) and Delroy Lindo (Da 5 Bloods) co-star, rounding out an impressive ensemble.
Coogler has assembled a dream team of exceptional behind-the-camera talent, many of whom he collaborated with on the Black Panther franchise. This includes director of photography Autumn Durald Arkapaw, Oscar-winning production designer Hannah Beachler, editor Michael P. Shawver, Oscar-winning composer Ludwig Göransson, and Oscar-winning costume designer Ruth E. Carter.
