I hope most of you took advantage of seeing Sinners on the big screen — and in IMAX and/or 70mm if possible — as that experience is truly what helped make the Michael B. Jordan and Ryan Coogler movie the best movie of the year so far in my book. But if you haven't been able to see the movie in theaters, well, things have gotten a bit easier for you, as you can now watch Sinners at home via digital on-demand platforms.
As of Tuesday, June 3, you can buy or rent Sinners through Prime Video and other digital on-demand platforms. Sinners is still playing in movie theaters if you want to try and catch it on the big screen, but admittedly, watching Sinners at home makes it easier to catch up with the movie.
Sinners takes place in the Mississippi Delta of the 1930s, where twin brothers Smoke and Stack (both played by Jordan) return home looking to start their own club. However, on opening night, they have some unannounced visitors who bring unparalleled chaos to the proceedings. In addition to Jordan, Sinners stars Hailee Steinfeld, Jack O'Connell, Miles Caton, Wunmi Mosaku, Delroy Lindo, Li Jun Li, Omar Benson Miller and Jayme Lawson.
In my Sinners review, I called the movie 'the first truly great movie of 2025,' and a month and a half later, it is still the best movie I've seen this year. While the movie theater experience was definitely special, the performances, the storytelling and the craftsmanship of Sinners will have the movie play well on whatever size screen (though I'd still recommend watching it on the biggest TV you have).
I'm not alone in my praise, as Sinners is 'Certified Fresh' on Rotten Tomatoes with a critics' score of 97% and 'Verified Hot' on the platform with an audience score of 96%. It's also pulled in the dough, with it ranking as the third highest-grossing movie at the US box office as of publication and top 10 worldwide.
In summation, Sinners has become something of a phenomenon for moviegoers. So anyone who likes to be caught up with the latest movies and hasn't seen Sinners yet — or if you want to watch the movie again — well, now you have multiple options to do so.
To be clear though, Sinners is not available as part of a major streaming service at this time, you have to buy the movie or pay a rental fee to watch it at home. We're still waiting on an official streaming release date for Sinners, but as a Warner Bros. movie, we all but know where it is going to be available to stream first — on Max (or perhaps it will be HBO Max again by the time Sinners arrives on the platform).
If you need any final convincing, here is the Sinners trailer to give a quick preview:

YouTube overtakes streaming rivals as the go-to for TV and movies

Gone are the days when YouTube was just for catching up on vlogs or diving into late-night rabbit holes. Today, the platform is staking its claim in TV and film. According to a new survey conducted by Looper Insights between April 16 and 25, 66% of consumers discover TV or film content via YouTube. For 61%, it's already part of their regular streaming habits, and for 34%, it's a main source for TV and film content, as reported by Media Play News. This shift isn't surprising. In April, the Google-owned platform captured a record 12.4% share of all TV viewing. And it's not just rival streamers who should be concerned. For three consecutive months, YouTube has ranked as the No. 1 distributor of television content, according to Nielsen. Media executives are taking notice. Among the 65 surveyed, 84% view YouTube as a viable platform for launching long-form content, and 30% are actively considering it for upcoming releases. In Q1 2025, more Americans watched YouTube on TV screens than on mobile devices—a first. Meeting audiences in the living room, media companies have begun uploading premium content directly to the platform. Earlier this year, Warner Bros. quietly released more than 30 full-length films on YouTube, free to watch. Yet as YouTube continues its rise, creators face critical decisions. Some, like Ms Rachel, have signed licensing deals with Netflix. MrBeast (aka Jimmy Donaldson), YouTube's most-subscribed creator, brought Beast Games to the small screen via Prime Video. Still, many fans would rather their favorite YouTubers stay where they started. More than half (54%) of respondents said YouTubers feel more authentic and better suited to the platform that launched their careers. Meanwhile, nearly three-quarters (74%) of executives noted that creator-led shows often underperform on platforms like Netflix and Prime, citing poor audience migration and an overreliance on follower counts.

Previously, Nicole also held a dual role as President of Original Scripted series for Paramount+, leading the streamer's programming strategy at launch. In her new role, Nicole will report to me and lead our International Original teams, which will continue building on the incredible success we've seen with global audiences. Last year was our biggest year ever, with more than 140 International Original series & movies produced across more than 20 territories, and our slate for the remainder of 2025 is incredibly strong. Just a few upcoming highlights include the third movie installment in Mercedes Ron's Culpables trilogy (Culpa Nuestra – Spain), along with the first movie from her Dímelo book trilogy in development; returning seasons of hit series including Maxton Hall (Germany), Red Queen (Spain), and Betty La Fea (Colombia); and new projects like Newtopia (Korea), Superboys of Malegaon (India), Graduation Trip: Mallorca (Spain), Costiera (Italy). Nicole will guide our future International Originals slate as we invest for the long term in international series and movies. I'm so proud of the work we've done, and I know Nicole's leadership will take us to even greater heights. Nicole will onboard and spend a period of time at our Amazon MGM Studios' Culver City HQ, before relocating to London. Our International Originals leaders – including Javiera Balmaceda (Head of International Originals, Latin America, Canada & Australia), Tara Erer (Head of International Originals, Northern Europe), Nicole Morganti (Head of International Originals, Southern Europe) and John Holmes (Director of International Originals Production & Post) – will report directly to Nicole. Nikhil Madhok (Head of International Originals, India) will continue to report into Gaurav Gandhi (VP, Prime Video APAC & MENA) while remaining part of Nicole's leadership team. Marc Hausmaninger (Head of Content Strategy, International Originals) and Sam Semon (Head of International Business Affairs) will also support Nicole and the International Originals team. I look forward to Nicole joining the Prime Video & Amazon MGM Studios family next month and I'm sure you'll provide a warm welcome!
