Horror Hit ‘Sinners' Coming To Streaming On Max This Week
Michael B Jordan plays twins in "Sinners." Sinners — Ryan Coogler's hit vampire thriller starring Michael B. Jordan and Hailee Steinfeld — is coming soon to streaming on Max. Written and directed by Coogler, Sinners stars the filmmaker's Black Panther and Creed collaborator Jordan as twin brothers Smoke and Stack, who return home to Mississippi in 1932 after serving in World War I and working for the mob in Chicago. The logline for Sinners reads, 'Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.' Sinners also stars Miles Caton, Jack O'Connell, Wumni Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller and Delroy Lindo. Sinners opened in theaters on April 18 and made its debut on digital streaming via premium video on demand on June 3. According to Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment, Sinners will debut on the company's streaming service Max on Friday, July 4. Max — which will soon revert to its original name HBO Max — has three streaming tiers available. Viewers can subscribe to an an ad-based tier for $9.99 per month, an ad-free tier for $16.99 per month or an ad-free tier with 4K Ultra HD Programming for $20.99 per month. Michael B. Jordan Had One Big Reservation About Being In A Vampire Movie Naturally, a movie with vampires is going to require fake fangs and blood, and as it turns out, Michael B. Jordan was not a fan of one of them while making Sinners. "I liked the fangs. Fangs were dope. The blood was a bit messy and uncomfortable at times. The blood was a lot," Jordan, sitting alongside Ryan Coogler, told People in an April interview. Coogler then shed a bit more light on Jordan's disdain for fake blood for People, adding, "I got called into a meeting a few weeks in by my producer and my wife Zinzi Coogler, and she was like, 'Hey, we gotta talk about Mike.' I'm like, 'What? What's going on?' And she's like, 'The blood — he doesn't like it.' I'm like, 'Wait, what?'" Jordan then brought a little more clarity to the situation. "First of all, there's a difference between complaining and venting,' Jordan told People, laughing. 'I was just more venting, you know what I'm saying? But they care about me, so they had a meeting. I appreciate the meeting." Sinners continues to be a monster hit in theaters, earning $277.6 million domestically and $86.6 million in international ticket sales for a worldwide box office tally of $363.8 million to date. Sinners had a $90 million production budget before prints and advertising, The Numbers reported. The film also earned a 97% 'fresh' rating from Rotten Tomatoes critics, who gave the film 375 reviews. In addition, Sinners earned a 96% 'fresh' score on RT's Popcornmeter based on 25,000-plus verified user ratings. Sinners arrives on Max on Friday, July 4.

'Sinners' Sequel Rumored To Be In Development At WB
The 2025 new release Sinners was a major success in every way – financially, critically, and with moviegoers. Therefore, it may not be surprising to hear that a sequel to Sinners is rumored to be in development at Warner Bros. Ryan Coogler tackled the movie which placed a traditional vampire plot amidst the drama and tensions of two criminal brothers returning to their hometown in Mississippi in 1932. Michael B. Jordan played both of the brothers, a pair of twins, while other cast members included Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton, Jack O'Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller, and Delroy Lindo. While most of these characters met the kind of fate you'd expect to see in a vampire movie, there is certainly enough room for a follow-up, and that means the aforementioned sequel is a very real possibility. Although nothing is confirmed at this point, a listing on Production Weekly mentions Sinners 2 , suggesting that the film is in development. When considering the success of the film, however, and the many possibilities for expanding the story, it's a listing that does make sense. For those who've seen the film, they know that the movie features a post-credits scene where Michael B. Jordan's Stack and Hailee Steinfeld's Mary are both alive as vampires in 1992. A sequel could follow these characters in that time period, or any other moment in history between 1932 and now. Furthermore, some fans have even clamored for a prequel, one that could further track the spread of vampirism from Ireland to the southern United States. As of this writing, Sinners grossed $341 million worldwide with a $90 million budget. Its earnings led the film to become the seventh-highest-grossing film of 2025. When considering Sinners is an original IP, the accolades are even more impressive. Of course, we'll have to wait and see if a Sinners sequel even gets an official greenlight. For now, however, the possibility of such a follow-up seems high. Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for any additional updates regarding the possibility for Sinners 2 as we have them.

‘Sinners' and Beyoncé Battle the Vampires. And the Gatekeepers, Too.
When Beyoncé wails, in the opening moments of her 'Cowboy Carter' album, that 'them big ideas are buried here,' I've imagined 'big' standing in for 'racist' but have never hit pause to wonder about the GPS coordinates. That song's called 'Ameriican Requiem,' so the cemetery is everywhere. And yet partway through Ryan Coogler's hit 'Sinners,' I thought, Oh, this is where 'here' is, inside a movie about a 1932 juke joint whose music is so soulful that vampires, who are also a white minstrel trio, want to suck its blood. She's envisioning utopia — a place where a Black woman feels free to make any kind of music she wants, including country. He's imagined a nightmare in which Black art is doomed to be coveted before it's ever just simply enjoyed. She's defying the gatekeepers. He's arguing that some gates definitely need to be kept. To that end, the movie keeps a gag running wherein vampire etiquette requires a verbal invitation to enter the club, leading to comic scenes of clearly possessed, increasingly itchy soul junkies standing in a doorway begging to be let in. People have been calling certain white performers interested in Black music vampires for years. Here's a movie that literalizes the metaphor with an audacity that's thrilling in its obviousness and redundancy. There's never a bad time for good pop art. There's never a bad time for Black artists to provide it. But these here times? Times of hatchet work and so-called wood-chipping; of chain saws, as both metaphor and dispiriting political prop; a time of vandalistic racial gaslighting. These times might call for an excessive pop art that takes on too much, that wants to be gobbled up and dug into, an art that isn't afraid to boast I am this country, while also doing some thinking about what this country is. These here times might call for Black artists to provide that, too, to offer an American education that feels increasingly verboten. That's not art's strong suit, pointing at chalkboards. But if school systems are being bullied into coddling snowflakes, then perhaps, on occasion, art should be hitting you upside the head and dancing on your nose.
