Sinners Rotten Tomatoes Audience Score Released - How Does It Compare To Near Perfect Critics Score?

Sinners has now earned a Rotten Tomatoes audience score. The new horror movie is the newest collaboration between director Ryan Coogler and star Michael B. Jordan, who have previously worked together on Fruitvale Station, Creed, Black Panther, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. The ensemble cast opposite Jordan (who plays a dual role as twins) includes Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton, Jack O’Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, and Delroy Lindo. Ahead of the Sinners release, the movie originally earned a perfect 100% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, though that has since slumped slightly to a still-stellar 97%, which is already Certified Fresh.

Now that the movie has debuted in theaters, Rotten Tomatoes has aggregated enough verified user reviews to give the movie an official audience score on the Popcornmeter. At the time of writing, it has a 97% audience score thanks to more than 500 users who have given it an average rating of 4.8 out of 5. Although the score could fluctuate as more reviews are added, at the time of writing it perfectly matches the Tomatometer score and already has enough reviews to have earned the Verified H๏τ badge on top of its Certified Fresh status.

What This Means For Sinners

This Audience Score Breaks Multiple Records
