Sinners is a 2025 American horror film written, co-produced, and directed by Ryan Coogler.[4] Set in 1932 in the Mississippi Delta, the film stars Michael B. Jordan in dual roles as twin brothers who return to their hometown to start again, only to be confronted by a supernatural evil. The film co-stars Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton (in his theatrical-film debut), Jack O'Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller, and Delroy Lindo.

Coogler began developing the genre film through his production company Proximity Media by January 2024, when Jordan was cast. Warner Bros. Pictures acquired distribution rights the next month following a bidding war, and casting for additional roles took place in April. Principal photography took place from April to July 2024. Longtime Coogler collaborator Ludwig Göransson composed the film's score and served as an executive producer.

Sinners premiered on April 3, 2025, and was theatrically released in the United States on April 18, by Warner Bros. Pictures. The film received critical acclaim, with particular praise for Coogler's direction and Göransson's score as well as the performances of Jordan, Steinfeld, Lindo and Caton. Sinners has grossed over $196 million worldwide, becoming the fifth highest-grossing film of 2025.

Plot

On October 15, 1932, identical twins and World War I veterans Smoke and Stack return to Clarksdale, Mississippi, after years spent working for the Chicago Outfit. Using money stolen from gangsters, they purchase a sawmill from racist landowner Hogwood to start a juke joint for the local black community. Their cousin Sammie, an aspiring guitarist, joins them despite opposition from his pastor father Jedidiah, who warns that blues music is supernatural.

The twins recruit other staff: pianist Delta Slim and singer Pearline (with whom Sammie becomes enamored) as performers, Smoke's estranged wife Annie as cook, local Chinese shopkeepers Grace and Bo as suppliers, and field worker Cornbread as bouncer. Meanwhile, Stack reconnects with his ex-girlfriend Mary, who passes for white. Mary resents Stack for abandoning her when he left for Chicago. Smoke and Annie argue over her belief in the occult, as Annie insists her practices kept the twins safe, but Smoke bitterly reminds her that their infant daughter is still dead. Elsewhere, Irish-immigrant vampire Remmick flees from Choctaw vampire hunters and violently turns a married Klansmen couple into vampires.

At the juke joint's opening night, Sammie's music is transcendent, unknowingly summoning spirits of both past and future to join the entranced crowd. The performance draws Remmick's attention, and he arrives with his minions, offering money and music for entry. Suspicious, the twins refuse entry, and the vampires retreat. Reminding the twins that the bar needs the income, Mary meets Remmick outside, but is turned. She returns inside, where she seduces Stack and bites him. Smoke shoots her, but she is unharmed by regular bullets and escapes as Stack dies. Cornbread is attacked by Remmick and turned as well.

As the joint empties, the vampires attack and turn on the departing patrons, including Bo. Stack revives as a vampire, but Annie repels him with pickled garlic juice. She educates the survivors: only sunlight, silver, or wooden stakes can kill vampires, and they cannot enter a building unless invited. Now leading a horde of vampires but still unable to enter the bar, Remmick negotiates. He praises Sammie's supernatural talent and claims that vampirism offers immortality, freedom, and escape from racism; he wants to use Sammie's skills to summon the spirits of his lost community. He also warns that Hogwood, who secretly heads the local Klan, plans to attack the bar at dawn. When the survivors refuse his offer, Remmick and Bo confront Grace, threatening to attack her daughter. A desperate Grace dares the horde to attack the joint, inviting them in. Grace, Delta Slim, and Annie are killed in the ensuing battle. Mary is devastated by Annie's death and flees the bar.

Smoke, Sammie, and Pearline attempt to escape, but Remmick and Stack ambush them. Smoke and Stack clash in a brutal fight, while Sammie and Pearline face off with Remmick. Pearline is bitten and begs Sammie to flee. In a final confrontation, Sammie smashes his guitar over Remmick's head before Smoke arrives just in time to incapacitate him. As the sun rises, both Remmick and the horde are incinerated.

Urging Sammie to flee, Smoke ambushes and kills Hogwood and the Klan, but is himself mortally wounded. Before dying, he witnesses a vision of Annie and their daughter. Sammie, battered and grief-stricken, returns to his father's church. Jedidiah pleads with him to renounce music and seek salvation. Sammie refuses, leaving with his guitar in hand.

Sixty years later, an ageless Stack and Mary visit an elderly Sammie, now a celebrated blues musician in Chicago. Stack reveals that Smoke spared him that night at the joint, allowing him to go free under the condition that Sammie would live in peace. The couple offers Sammie the chance at immortality, but he declines. After performing for the couple, Sammie tells them that though that fateful night still haunts him, until the sun went down, it was the greatest day of his life. Stack agrees, noting it was the last time he saw Smoke, the last time he saw the sun, and the only time he ever truly felt free.

Production

Sinners is the fifth collaboration between writer–director Ryan Coogler and actor Michael B. Jordan.

In January 2024, an untitled period film (rumored to take place in the Jim Crow-era South and involve the undead) from writer, director, and producer Ryan Coogler was reported to be in development through his production company Proximity Media, with longtime collaborator Michael B. Jordan cast in the lead role.[5][6] Sony Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures, and Universal Pictures were in a bidding war to acquire the distribution rights to the film, which carried a budget of around $90 million.[7] In exchange for the distribution rights to the film, Coogler was also reportedly asking studios for first-dollar gross, final cut privilege, and ownership of the film 25 years after its release.[8] The following month, Warner Bros. won the distribution rights to the film by acceding to Coogler's terms.[6]

Additional cast members were announced in April and May 2024.[9] Principal photography began in New Orleans on April 14, 2024, under the working title Grilled Cheese and wrapped on July 17.[10][11][12] It was shot by Autumn Durald Arkapaw on 65mm film using a combination of IMAX 15-perf 70 mm and Ultra Panavision 70mm cameras[13] and scenes thus alternate between the 1.43:1 and 2.76:1 aspect ratios.[14][15][16] The production spent $67.6 million on-location in Louisiana.[17] The film's allocated budget ultimately rose to around $100 million.[18][19]

Music

Main article: Sinners (soundtrack)
Composer Ludwig Göransson said his score for Sinners reflected his own musical journey.

Coogler's frequent collaborator Ludwig Göransson worked on the soundtrack of Sinners.[20] Göransson described Sinners as a personal and ambitious score, reflecting his own musical journey.[21] He drew inspiration from blues music and performed the score on a 1932 Dobro Cyclops resonator guitar, the same one Sammie carries throughout the film.[20][22] During the pre-production, Coogler sent Göransson several recordings from the 1930s and 1940s, particularly those of Robert Johnson and Tommy Johnson.[23] Göransson and Coogler insisted that Ludwig's wife Serena produce the songs. Serena Göransson, a classically trained violinist, said the southern Black music had to be handled with care and expert consultation and that she felt "like a steward with this project [...] especially with the music. I just feel that it has a life of its own..."[20]

The couple worked with Lawrence "Boo" Mitchell, a blues producer who owns Royal Studios, and visited the B.B. King Museum and local juke joints in Clarksdale and Indianola with him for inspiration. The Göranssons and Mitchell recorded the songs at Royal Studios over five days with musicians such as Alvin Youngblood Hart and Cedric Burnside.[23] Mitchell also brought in other blues musicians such as Brittany Howard, Raphael Saadiq, Bobby Rush, Christone "Kingfish" Ingram and Buddy Guy (who also appears in the film).[23][24] The Göranssons rented a studio converted from a church in New Orleans, and worked with the supporting cast of Jack O'Connell, Lola Kirke, Peter Dreimanis and Jayme Lawson, rehearsing their songs multiple times. Much of the film was recorded live on set, with the cast members performing alongside other blues musicians.[20] Hailee Steinfeld wrote and recorded the original song "Dangerous" for the film.[25]

Unlike most Warner Bros. films, which have soundtracks released through the company's in-house label WaterTower Music or record labels owned by Warner Music Group, the soundtrack and score to Sinners were released through Sony Music labels.[22] The soundtrack was released on Sony Masterworks on April 18, 2025, the same day as the film,[26] featuring 22 tracks performed by an array of blues musicians, alongside the cast members.[27][28] The lead single "Sinners", performed by Rod Wave, was released two weeks prior.[22][29]

Release

Sinners was released in the United States on April 18, 2025. It was previously scheduled for release on March 7, 2025, but was delayed to April (swapping dates with Mickey 17) to allow for more time needed in post-production due to the scarcity of film stock labs for the project, which heavily utilized film cameras.[30][31][32] In addition to a standard digital release, the film also received 10 IMAX 70mm prints,[33][34] and 5 standard 70mm prints.[35][36]

Reception

Box office

As of May 3, 2025, Sinners has grossed $156.2 million in the United States and Canada, and $39.8 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $196 million.[2][3]

Some publications claimed the film needed to gross $170–185 million to break-even when factoring in its production budget, Coogler's first-dollar gross, premium video-on-demand, and streaming deals with Prime and Netflix.[37][38] Other industry sources placed the break-even point at $200–225 million, with Puck going as high as $300 million, because of the film's budget, estimated $50–60 million marketing spend, and the presumption that theaters keep half of ticket sales.[39][40] Many fans of the film and people in the industry like Ben Stiller (whose tweet in support of the film earned over 300,000 likes) called out media coverage, specifically pieces from Variety, The New York Times, and Business Insider, that undermined the film's wide appeal by focusing on its box office performance, Coogler's salary, and speculation about its profitability.[41][42][43][44]

In the United States and Canada, Sinners was projected to gross $30–40 million from 3,308 theaters in its opening weekend.[38][45] The film made $19.2 million on its first day, including an estimated $4.7 million from Thursday night previews. It went on to debut to $48 million, topping projections to finish first at the box office, upsetting Warner Bros.' own holdover A Minecraft Movie.[37] The opening marked the best start for an original film since Jordan Peele's Us ($71 million in 2019); the eighth time Warner Bros. led the Easter weekend box office since 2000; and the first time a studio had two films make over $40 million each over a single weekend since 2009. Walk-up business, particularly on Saturday, and word-of-mouth contributed substantially to the opening, with 61% of attendees buying their ticket the same day.[37][46] Spring break also played a role, with 34% of K-12 schools and 9% of colleges on break.[37] Premium large format and IMAX screenings made up 45% of the opening.[47] Exit polling indicated that 47% of moviegoers bought tickets because of Jordan, 40% for Coogler, and 45% because of positive word-of-mouth; that 64% of attendees were 35 or younger, with 46% being 25–34 and 2% of patrons being under 18; and that the film's audience was 49% Black, 27% Caucasian, 14% Latino and Hispanic, 6% Asian, and 4% Native American/other, "reflect[ing] a strong turnout among different demographics".[37][40][46][48] The film also made $15.4 million from 71 international markets, on par with Get Out (2017) and ahead of Nope (2022) and Speak No Evil (2024), for a global opening weekend of $61 million.[49]

Word-of-mouth momentum helped the film earn the second-best Monday haul for an R-rated horror film at $7.8 million, behind It ($8.6 million in 2017);[50] $8.6 million on Discount Tuesday; $7.1 million on Wednesday;[51] and $6 million on Thursday, ending its first week ahead of the seven-day totals of The Conjuring ($61.7 million in 2013) and Get Out ($49.8 million) with $77.5 million.[48] Sinners exceeded second weekend projections ($19.2–24 million)[52] to outgross new releases and top the box office again with $45.7 million. The 4.8% drop ranked between 2025's Heart Eyes (+19%) and 2017's Get Out (–15%) for R-rated horror films.[48][53] It marked the third-best second weekend performance for a film that debuted to over $40 million after 2001's Shrek (+0.3%) and 2009's Avatar (–1.8%);[54] the second-best second weekend for an R-rated horror film after It ($60.1 million); and the third-best second weekend for Coogler after Black Panther ($111.6 million in 2018) and its sequel Wakanda Forever ($66.4 million in 2022). Deadline noted that the film's audience had broadened, with female moviegoers making up 56% of patrons (up from 43% in the first weekend); those under 25 comprising 34% (up from 20%); and demos now polling as 43% Black, 25% Caucasian, 17% Latino and Hispanic, and 11% Asian.[48] The film also made $13.5 million over that frame from 71 foreign markets to bring its global cume to $161.6 million, attributed to word-of-mouth and strong holds in several countries.[55]

Critical response

The performances of Michael B. Jordan and Hailee Steinfeld were praised.

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 98% of 339 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 8.8/10. The website's consensus reads: "A rip-roaring fusion of masterful visual storytelling and toe-tapping music, writer-director Ryan Coogler's first original blockbuster reveals the full scope of his singular imagination."[56] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 84 out of 100, based on 55 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[57] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A" on an A+ to F scale (the highest grade for a horror film in 35 years), while those surveyed by PostTrak gave it a 92% overall positive score, with 84% saying they would definitely recommend the film.[37]

Reviewers praised Coogler's vision and the film's cinematography; Rolling Stone critic A.A. Dowd commented that the director was "swinging wide and far beyond the boundaries of franchise fare", while Wendy Ide of The Observer wrote that "Coogler's assurance and vision holds everything together."[58][59][60] Ann Hornaday of the Washington Post cited Coogler's "impressive self-awareness", as well as Jordan, Mosaku, and Caton's performances.[61] Several critics suggested that the film's more grounded first half was superior to the supernaturally driven later acts.[62][63][64] Peter Travers of ABC News declared Sinners the best movie yet released in 2025, writing that it was Coogler and Jordan's "best and most daring work yet."[65] In a more negative review, The Wall Street Journal's Zachary Barnes praised Jordan's performance, but wrote that Sinners did not pull together thematically, arguing that "Mr. Coogler’s imagination remains limited by the conventions of Marveldom."[66]

The music of Sinners was widely praised by critics, who noted its centrality to the film's story. David Ehrlich of IndieWire wrote "This isn't the first time that a Ludwig Göransson score has been inextricable from the texture of a Ryan Coogler movie, but Sinners opens with someone talking about a kind of music 'so pure it can pierce the veil between life and death, past and future'... and then proceeds to show us exactly what that sounds like."[67] Mae Abdulbaki of Screen Rant stated "The music alone, from the songs played by the characters to the score by Ludwig Göransson, takes the film to another level."[68] Amy Nicholson of Los Angeles Times described the score as "phenomenal", adding it is music "you've never heard and yet it seems to come from deep inside our pop-cultural soul".[69] David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter described it as "flavorful [...] with the score and the blues performances fusing together to intoxicating effect."[70] Barnes, of The Wall Street Journal, called Göransson's score "a twangy marvel of genre-crossing interpolation."[66]
