Sinners is a 2025 American film[a] produced, written, and directed by Ryan Coogler.[10] Set in 1932 in the Mississippi Delta, the film stars Michael B. Jordan in dual roles as criminal twin brothers who return to their hometown to start again where they are confronted by a supernatural evil. The film co-stars Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton, Jack O’Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller, and Delroy Lindo.
Coogler began developing the film through his production company Proximity Media by January 2024 when Jordan was cast. After a bidding war, Warner Bros. Pictures acquired distribution rights the next month, and additional roles were cast 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, at AMC Lincoln Square in New York City,[11] and was theatrically released in United States on April 18, 2025, by Warner Bros. Pictures.[12] The film received universal acclaim[13][14][15] and has grossed $361 million worldwide, becoming the eighth-highest-grossing film of 2025.
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.[42] The soundtrack was released on Sony Masterworks on April 18, 2025, the same day as the film,[46] featuring 22 tracks performed by an array of blues musicians, alongside the cast members.[47][48] The lead single “Sinners“, performed by Rod Wave, was released two weeks prior.[42][49]
