Michael B. Jordan’s new horror film ‘Sinners’ is only in theaters for now

Michael B. Jordan’s latest movie 'Sinners', a horror thriller set in the 1930s American South, has caught the attention of many fans. However, those hoping to stream it from the comfort of their homes will have to wait.
According to a report from Radio Times, the film is not yet available on any streaming platform and is currently playing only in theaters. Directed by Ryan Coogler, who is best known for 'Black Panther' and 'Fruitvale Station', 'Sinners' takes a different direction from his past work. This new film is set during the Jim Crow era in Mississippi and combines gothic horror with a deep look at racial history. Coogler, returning to the director’s chair for the fifth time, shot the movie using high-quality 65mm film to give it a more immersive look. It is also available in IMAX for a bigger and more detailed viewing experience.
The movie was officially released in cinemas across the U.S. on Friday, April 18. Tickets for both standard and IMAX showings are available on major ticket booking websites. While 'Sinners' is expected to eventually be available on Max, but no official digital release date has been announced yet. Based on the recent pattern, the movie will likely remain exclusive to theaters for several weeks. Its streaming release is expected sometime in the second half of 2025.
In 'Sinners', Michael B. Jordan plays twin brothers named Smoke and Stack who return to their small hometown in rural Mississippi. They hope to start over, but their plans are disrupted when they encounter dark supernatural forces. This is the first time Coogler has directed a horror film, and early viewers say it’s filled with suspense and eerie moments. The movie combines Southern Gothic storytelling with psychological horror, and many critics have called it Coogler’s boldest project yet.
Besides Jordan in the lead dual role, the film features a strong supporting cast including Hailee Steinfeld, Li Jun Li, Delroy Lindo, Wunmi Mosaku, Omar Benson Miller, Jayme Lawson, and Jack O’Connell. Reviewers have praised the performances, especially Jordan’s ability to play two very different characters convincingly.
The film has been rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America due to “strong bloody violence, sexual content, and language.” It is definitely aimed at a mature audience and leans heavily into the horror genre.
