"Following the horror flick's April 18, 2025, debut, Sinners surpassed $369 million at the global box office, far over-performing its projected gross and driving pop culture conversation. It was then nominated for 16 Academy Awards-the most of any film in the ceremony's history-and won in four categories: Best Actor, Best Original Screenplay, Best Original Score, and Best Cinematography."
"Michael B. Jordan, who took home the Best Actor Oscar for his efforts, portrayed dual roles: twin brothers Smoke and Stack, two Mississippi exiles who head back down to their hometown with a truckload of Irish beer and whisky stolen from an Illinois mafia. They tap family and friends to help with the grand opening of their new juke joint outside of town."
"Oscar-winning production designer Hannah Beachler is the brain behind the film's Clarksdale, Mississippi, which she crafted through arduous research into the period's real-life architectural details. The initial inspiration came from Ryan Coogler telling her about the people in the story-who they are, what they want, what they wish for, their struggles and joy, pain and loss."
