This weekend, Michael B. Jordan took to his Instagram page with heartfelt gratitude, celebrating the overwhelming response his latest cinematic venture, "Sinners," has garnered. Helmed by the talented Ryan Coogler, whose resume boasts hits like "Fruitvale Station," "Creed," and the iconic "Black Panther," "Sinners" has emerged as a colossal success.
Set against the backdrop of the Mississippi Delta in the 1930s, this intriguing film is a mesmerizing blend of Blues music, vampire lore, and more. Jordan, whose journey began with compelling roles in "The Wire" and "Friday Night Lights," stars as the dual protagonists, Smoke and Stack, delivering a performance that is both nuanced and captivating.
In his heartfelt post, Jordan exclaimed, "Words simply fail me in conveying my profound gratitude for the overwhelming love and support everyone has shown our film! It's an exhilarating yet surreal feeling to witness the sheer number of you who have flocked to theaters, continually championing this project. This is precisely why we make movies and cherish the communal experience of watching them on the big screen. It unites us all under one roof!!"
Among those echoing Jordan's sentiments was Keke Palmer, who shone brightly in Jordan Peele's 2022 thriller "Nope." She lent her voice to Jordan's post with a poignant four-word message: "So proud of you," she penned, resonating with fellow Hollywood star's triumph.
The journey of "Sinners" from here promises to be nothing short of thrilling. Having raked in approximately $50 million during its opening weekend, the film is poised to witness only a minimal decline in its second week, with projections hinting at a healthy $45 million take. Undoubtedly, Ryan Coogler's latest masterpiece is well on its way to becoming one of the biggest blockbusters of 2025.
