The horror thriller Sinners is set to debut on streaming platforms in June, making it possible to watch one of the best movies of the year from the comfort of your own home.
Sinners has been a huge success with critics and audiences alike, and fans will be grateful to know that the box office hit is about to land on streaming services after releasing in cinemas just last month. A collaboration between writer-director Ryan Coogler and Michael B Jordan, Sinners sees the Creed star playing both twin brothers Smoke and Stack in a thrilling new film.
The plot follows their return to their Mississippi hometown to begin fresh, but when they encounter a band of vampires traveling, things start to get spooky.
Since its release in cinemas at the beginning of April, Sinners has dominated at the box office alongside Marvel’s latest release Thunderbolts and the sixth instalment in the Final Destination franchise.
Anyone who didn’t have time to make a trip to the theater will now be able to watch it as it wraps up its nearly two-month-long theatrical run, according to reports that it will be available on streaming services like Prime Video and Apple TV on June 3.

The movie received a phenomenal 99% on the critics’ website Rotten Tomatoes after its initial launch. It has dropped just two points over the past few months, but it has impressed website users with a 96% overall score.
One Google reviewer who rated the film five stars heaped on the praise: “Ryan Coogler’s Sinners is a cinematic triumph that blends gripping storytelling with raw emotion, and at the heart of it all is a powerhouse performance by Michael B. Jordan that will be remembered for years to come.”
While another particularly impressed with Jordan’s performance added: “What a beauty! Michael B. Jordan delivers a career-high performance in his double role as twin brothers Smoke and Stack. Miles Caton as Sammie, the blues guitarist, steals every scene he’s in with a soulful, electric presence. Everyone else is great in their roles too. The film pulls you into its universe, and you become completely immersed.”
The movie even received an A on CinemaScore, marking the first horror movie in its 47-year history to achieve the score, despite critics typically rating horror movies.
Haillee Steinfeld plays Mary in the film, a “white-passing” character who helped her explore her own heritage. Speaking to RadioTimes.com, Haillee said: “This movie in general, and this role specifically, pushed me to, I guess, include as part of my research digging into my family history… something I’ve done here and there throughout the years, but never like I did when I took on this role.
