Michael B. Jordan may only be 38 years old, but he has been acting for over two decades already. He got his start as a child actor playing one-off roles in TV shows like The Sopranos. His teenage and young adult years then included parts in shows like The Wire, Friday Night Lights, and Parenthood.

In the 2010s, Jordan made a pivot into more film acting. One huge driver of this change was a 2013 independent film called Fruitvale Station. This movie got rave reviews and helped put Jordan on the map as a more serious actor.

It also kick-started his working relationship with director Ryan Coogler. Coogler would go on to direct Jordan in Creed, a Rocky reboot film led by the actor, and the MCU’s Black Panther.

In this regard, Jordan has become Coogler’s muse. This year, the pair made another film together, which is now becoming a huge hit on streaming.

Sinners Has Become An Instant Success

It Was Released On Streaming On July 4

Sinners is now a streaming hit. As the fifth film from Coogler, Sinners is a period piece about twin brothers, Smoke and Stack, who return to their Louisiana hometown after some time away. While their community is there to greet, bicker with, and in some cases embrace them, they are also welcomed back by a supernatural threat.

Sinners features Jordan in a career-first role, in which he played twin characters by portraying both Smoke and Stack. The movie also stars Wunmi Mosaku, Hailee Steinfeld, Jack O’Connell, Miles Caton, and Delroy Lindo.

Despite early reports that it might not make its money back due to the high budget, Sinners had an incredibly impressive showing in theaters. The film made over $364 million globally. This positioned the film as a record-setter among all-time horror films, especially those that were R-rated.

As per FlixPatrol, Sinners achieved chart status just after its streaming release. Sinners is the no. 1 movie on HBO Max in the United States today, July 7. It has now been in that position for two days, beginning on July 6.

What This Means For Sinners

Sinners Could Get More Awards Attention

This new milestone came just two days after Sinners hit Max on July 4. This means that people are jumping on the film as soon as it became more universally available, proving its popularity.

This is good news for Coogler’s film as summer begins. Sinners got great reviews in addition to its impressive box office, and has been in early talks for Oscar nominations. The film will have to remain in people’s minds in order to maintain momentum through awards season, and its streaming status is a great early sign.
