Michael B. Jordan Reacts to Tom Cruise Going to See ‘Sinners'
Tom Cruise is encouraging his fans to go see Sinners, and star Michael B. Jordan has thoughts. On Sunday, Cruise took a break from promoting his upcoming sequel Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning to post on Instagram a photo of himself at a theater holding two tickets for Ryan Coogler's genre-defying hit.

Vance: "Relatable" Lux Pascal Is a Proud Sister: "Pedro's Taught Me There's No Reason to Hide Who I Am" Michael B. Jordan's 'Thomas Crown Affair' Lands March 2027 Release 'Congratulations Ryan, Michael, and to the entire cast and crew,' Cruise wrote. 'Must see in a cinema and stay through the end credits.' Jordan reacted by sharing the post in his Instagram stories with a mind-blown emoji and a 'nah this crazy …' Sinners is coming off a truly impressive second weekend, defying the odds and remaining No. 1 domestically with $45.7 million — marking one of the smallest week-two drops in history for a movie playing outside of the year-end holidays and erasing early debate over its $90 million budget. The R-rated supernatural thriller has also managed to earn a perfect audience score. The pic has already grossed a huge $163 million globally. Cruise was previously credited by Steven Spielberg as having saved cinema with his 2022 smash Top Gun: Maverick ('Seriously, Maverick might have saved the entire theatrical industry,' Spielberg said). Since then, Cruise has been an annual summer cinema brand ambassador. In addition to hyping Sinners, the actor also promoted 2023's Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and 2024's Twisters. Yet the promotion is also savvy for Cruise. Sinners has been dominating moviegoing conversation for two weeks, and tickets for MI:8 went widely on sale Monday morning. Cross-promoting Coogler's buzzy hit is one way of getting Cruise and the upcoming MI:8 some extra attention (like with this story). Cruise's last Mission: Impossible film, 2023's Dead Reckoning, received extremely positive reviews from critics and fans (earning 96 percent positive score on Rotten Tomatoes), but was considered to have mildly underperformed at the box office. Cruise's new film is out May 23 and goes head-to-head against Disney's animated comedy Lilo & Stitch, which is predicted to be a monster. Some are betting that Mission and Stitch could become a Barbenheimer-like phenomena over Memorial Day weekend (though this theory suffers from a lack of catchy name-mesh — FinalStitch? ReckonStitch? StitchPossible?) As for Sinners, Coogler's fifth feature is set in 1932 and stars Jordan in dual roles as identical twin entrepreneurs known as Smoke and Stack. Having survived the World War I trenches and Chicago gangland, the brothers return after seven years to their segregated Mississippi Delta hometown, Clarksdale. They are flush with cash and have a truckload of liquor and a plan to open a juke joint. However, they encounter unexpected horrors.

Michael B. Jordan Breaks Down 'Technicality' of Playing Twins in ‘Sinners'
Michael B. Jordan took on double duty for upcoming horror film Sinners, playing twin brothers Smoke and Stack in the Ryan Coogler-helmed project. 'Somebody told me something about another guy walking around here looking like me, it's crazy,' the star joked at Thursday's New York premiere of the movie, which is set in the 1930s South and sees the brothers leave their troubled lives behind to start over in their hometown, only to encounter a greater evil upon their arrival. More from The Hollywood Reporter Michael B. Jordan Teases New 'Thomas Crown Affair' Movie Embattled Warner Bros. Movie Chiefs Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy Sidestep Job Drama at CinemaCon Michael B. Jordan Praises Jonathan Majors After Conviction: "I'm Proud of His Resilience" Jordan told The Hollywood Reporter on the carpet that the biggest challenge of playing twins 'was the technicality of how we shot both characters. I did every scene like four times, fives times, so I think the balance between going back and forth was difficult at times but you find a rhythm and after a while it was second nature. I had a lot of fun.' The film also deals with the supernatural and involves vampires, with Jordan pointing to Vampire in Brooklyn and Lost Boys as two of his favorite films in the bloodsucker genre. 'Those are two ones that were pretty dope for me and I loved the cast and the storyline,' he added. 'Eddie [Murphy] was so smooth in Vampire in Brooklyn; seeing yourself as a vampire was pretty cool.' Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton, Jack O'Connell, Wunmi Mosaku and Delroy Lindo co-star in the film, with the latter speaking about the musical elements present in the story. 'It's central to the foundation of this narrative, it's central to the history of this culture and central to the history of this country,' Lindo said, as Wunmi Mosaku added that there's 'blues music throughout the whole movie' which helps provide for a unique combination 'rooted in community, love, music, inspiration, ancestry, hope — and then also vampires.' O'Connell teased that he was 'living my best Beyoncé life on this one' when it came to the musical scenes, and promised viewers 'whatever you think it is, think again. But guaranteed it's a good night out — or day, whenever you're going to see it.' Sinners hits theaters April 18. Neha Joy contributed to this report.
