Michael B. Jordan has taken to Instagram to express his profound gratitude for the overwhelming support his latest film, “Sinners Movie,” has received from audiences worldwide. The actor-director shared his appreciation in a heartfelt post that celebrates not just the film’s success but also the communal experience of cinema.
“Words can’t express the gratitude that I feel for everyone and the outpour of love for our film!!” Jordan wrote in his Instagram caption. “It’s a crazy feeling to know how many of you have showed up and continue to support this film. This is why we make movies and love watching movies on the big screen. It brings people together!!”
The Instagram image shows Jordan in what appears to be a promotional setting for the film, capturing his genuine excitement about the movie’s reception.
Jordan’s film, which opened on April 18, has clearly resonated with audiences. The movie marks a significant project for the actor, who has been actively promoting it through various channels. Jordan stars in dual roles as the characters “Smoke” and “Stack” in the film directed by acclaimed filmmaker Ryan Coogler, with whom he has collaborated on previous successful projects.
Just a week before his gratitude post, Jordan shared images from the film featuring himself and co-star Wunmi Mosaku, who plays a character named Annie. In that post, he asked fans, “How many times have you seen @sinnersmovie?” suggesting the film may be drawing repeat viewings from enthusiastic audiences.
Prior to the film’s release, Jordan embarked on an extensive promotional tour that took him to major cities including New York and London. In a post from London just before the film’s premiere, he enthusiastically announced, “Last stop, London! One more day until y’all get to see Sinners!!”
The actor also shared his excitement about working with the film’s ensemble cast. “I love this cast so much and can’t wait for you all to see Sinners,” he wrote in another promotional post, encouraging fans to share when and in what format they planned to see the film.
The promotional campaign for “Sinners Movie” included some distinctive marketing strategies, including custom sneakers inspired by Jordan’s dual characters. A post about the “Michael B. Jordan ‘Smoke & Stack’ Juke Low” sneakers described them as featuring “the iconic ASICS blue and red stripes reflecting the duality of Jordan’s characters.” According to the post, only two pairs exist worldwide—one belonging to Jordan himself and another that was offered to fans through a bidding process.
Jordan’s emphasis on the theatrical experience in his gratitude post highlights the importance he places on communal viewing. His comment that “This is why we make movies and love watching movies on the big screen. It brings people together!!” reflects a sentiment shared by many filmmakers who value theatrical releases, especially as the industry continues to navigate the balance between streaming and traditional cinema experiences.
The actor specifically mentioned the film’s IMAX release in one of his posts, noting “Only one more week to see @sinnersmovie in @imax!!” which suggests the film was crafted with the large-format theatrical experience in mind.
Michael B. Jordan has established himself as one of Hollywood’s most versatile talents. Born in Santa Ana, California, and raised in Newark, New Jersey, Jordan began his career with television roles in shows like “The Wire” and “Friday Night Lights” before breaking through to film stardom.
His collaborations with director Ryan Coogler have been particularly notable, including critically acclaimed performances in “Fruitvale Station” (2013), “Creed” (2015), and as Erik Killmonger in the Marvel blockbuster “Black Panther” (2018). Jordan made his directorial debut with “Creed III” (2023), demonstrating his expanding range as a filmmaker.
Beyond acting, Jordan has been active as a producer and has used his platform to advocate for inclusion and diversity in Hollywood, founding his production company Outlier Society with a commitment to inclusive hiring practices.
The success of “Sinners Movie” adds another accomplishment to Jordan’s impressive career, which has seen him transition from a child actor to a leading man and now a creative force behind the camera as well.
As fans continue to support the film in theaters, Jordan’s gratitude post serves as a reminder of the connection between filmmakers and audiences—a relationship that remains at the heart of the cinematic experience.
