Sinners Box Office Breakdown

- Worldwide - $362 million
Sinners Has Been A Critical & Fan Favorite
Sinners, directed by Ryan Coogler and starring Michael B. Jordan in a rare dual performance as twin brothers "Smoke" and "Stack," quickly stood out among the critics and fans. The film holds a 97% score on Rotten Tomatoes, with a nearly identical audience score close behind (96%). That kind of reception is rare, especially for an original horror film. The movie was originally released on April 18, and since then, it has been available for digital purchase and rental.
Ryan Coogler Returns To Original Storytelling With Sinners
Coogler and Jordan have worked together before, in Fruitvale Station, Creed, and Black Panther. But this time, with Sinners, they move into a new lane, from the franchise world to a stand-alone story. Jordan's performance, in which he played two different characters, was praised heavily.
In addition to Jordan, the film features Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton, Jack O'Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Delroy Lindo, Omar Miller, Yao, and Li Jun Li. Coogler, who wrote the screenplay himself, produced the film alongside Zinzi Coogler and Sev Ohanian.
No Sequel Planned for Sinners, At Least for Now
Despite all the buzz and success, there's no talk of a sequel. Coogler made it clear he approached Sinners as a one-off story, aiming for something fresh and personal after years of working within franchise boundaries.
"I've been in a space of making franchise films for a bit, so I wanted to get away from that," he told Ebony Magazine. He added, "This film is very much me. I love anything supernatural. I'm in. I like stories about communities, about neighborhoods, about archetypes. And I love period anything. So, when you layer those things together, that does it for me."
Sinners lands on HBO Max on July 4, 2025.
