Creative Team and Cast Details
Written and directed by Ryan Coogler, known for his work on Black Panther and Creed, Sinners was specifically filmed using IMAX 70mm technology for both striking visuals and an immersive sound experience. The cast features Michael B. Jordan in the challenging dual roles of twin brothers Smoke and Stack, supported by Hailee Steinfeld, Jack O’Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Benson Miller, and Delroy Lindo.
Story and Early Box Office Performance
The narrative follows two brothers, portrayed by Michael B. Jordan, who strive to escape their past as they return to their hometown, only to confront a new, looming danger. After debuting at number one at the box office in April with a $48 million opening, Sinners achieved a global gross of $367 million. This established the film as one of the highest earning entries within the horror genre.
Critical Reception and Awards Prospects
Critics have noted the film’s approach to character development and suspenseful storytelling. Meagan Navarro wrote in her review,
“The careful curation of character-building pays off dividends. When the horror kicks into high gear, the deaths come fast and furious. And the deaths devastate. Coogler’s first foray into horror shows a keen understanding that the key ingredient to ensuring the scares land and the suspense leaves you on edge is making you care about the characters.”
—Meagan Navarro, Critic
With its return to IMAX 70mm theaters, Sinners is widely regarded as a strong contender in the upcoming Oscar race, reflecting its significant impact both with audiences and industry observers.
What’s Next for Sinners and Ryan Coogler
The Ryan Coogler Sinners IMAX release offers fans and new viewers the opportunity to witness the vision of Coogler and performances by Michael B. Jordan and the rest of the cast in premium theaters. As Sinners builds fresh momentum during this limited engagement, attention is turning to its awards season journey and the possibility of Oscar recognition for its cast and creative team.
