After a dominant box office run and 45 days exclusively in theaters, Ryan Coogler’s genre-bending vampiric epic “Sinners” is now available to stream at home.
Released on Good Friday, “Sinners” stars Michael B. Jordan and… Michael B. Jordan. The actor plays a dual role as the SmokeStack twins, criminals who return to their Clarksdale, Mississippi hometown after years working for crime families in Chicago.
Smoke and Stack come home intending to start over by opening a juke joint for the local Black community, only to find that a great evil lurking just outside threatens to ruin everything.
“Sinners” features supporting performances from Miles Caton (in his first-ever film role), Hailee Steinfeld, Wunmi Mosaku, Delroy Lindo, and Jack O’Connell.
“Sinners” is streaming on-demand on platforms like Prime Video now! “Sinners” was released on digital June 3.
“Sinners” is available for digital purchase on Prime Video. The film costs $24.99 to buy or $19.99 to rent — still significantly less than it may cost for a family to go out to the movies to watch it.
While you won’t have to be a paid Amazon Prime member to buy or rent “Sinners,” you will need at least a free Amazon account; that way, you can return to watch “Sinners” whenever you want to.
Digital purchases will live in your account indefinitely to be watched as many times as you’d like, while you’ll have 30 days to start a rental and 48 hours to finish it once you’ve pressed play.
Yes! One of the biggest talking points ahead of the “Sinners” theatrical release was the formatting and aspect ratios, and luckily, viewers at home will get a taste of the IMAX formatting.
Shot on film, “Sinners” is one of the first films to combine two proprietary film formats into one: scenes shot on Ultra Panavision 70 and IMAX 15-perf film were both used in the final IMAX cut of the movie. The aspect ratio expands from Ultra Panavision 70 2.76:1 to IMAX 1.90:1 or 1.43:1 during select scenes, creating a more immersive environment in key moments.
The digital version shifts between 2.76:1 and 1.43:1 for the immersive IMAX scenes. If this all sounds confusing, it’s because it kind of is. Luckily, Coogler filmed an explainer for Kodak with all of the film and formatting available for “Sinners”. Just know this: if you buy the movie on digital (or preorder the 4K Blu-ray), you’ll be seeing it, at least partly, as the creators intended.
In addition to Jordan starring in dual roles as identical twin brothers Elijah “Smoke” Moore and Elias “Stack” Moore, here’s who you’ll see in “Sinners.”
While you can stream “Sinners” at home now, some may prefer a physical alternative to owning movies digitally, where there’s always the chance that rights may be revoked and you’ll lose that digital access. Physical discs are tangible proof that, as long as you have a player to play it, you’ll be able to watch the movie you own.
The 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD copies of “Sinners” will be released on July 8, but you can preorder now on Amazon to receive your copy on release day.
