Los Angeles, California — Tom Cruise has joined the growing list of celebrities praising the new vampire film “Sinners,” starring Michael B. Jordan. On Sunday, Cruise shared his enthusiasm for the film on social media, posting a photo of himself in front of a large promotional poster. He congratulated the cast and crew, emphasizing the film’s cinematic experience and encouraging fans to stay through the credits.
Michael B. Jordan, who plays twin brothers Smoke and Stack in the movie directed by Ryan Coogler, acknowledged Cruise’s kind words in the comments section, expressing gratitude with a couple of salute emojis. Actress Yvonne Orji humorously remarked, “Game recognize game,” while other fans celebrated Cruise’s endorsement, underscoring the film’s buzz in film circles.
Critically, “Sinners” has made a significant impact only weeks after its release. As of Tuesday, it boasts a Certified Fresh rating of 98% from critics and 97% from verified audience reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. Box Office Mojo reported that the film has grossed $168.7 million globally, maintaining its position as the top-grossing movie in the U.S. for both weekends since its debut, with only a slight 6% drop in ticket sales.
The film features a strong supporting cast, including Jack O’Connell, Delroy Lindo, Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton, and Saul Williams. It follows the story of twins who return to their Mississippi hometown seeking a fresh start but instead confront a terrifying presence—vampires.
Cruise’s mention of the film’s post-credits scene generated considerable intrigue. Coogler recently remarked that the scene is pivotal to the film’s narrative. He noted its importance in relation to the overall story, hinting at a surprise that awaits viewers.
On a different cinematic front, Cruise is set to return in the much-anticipated installment of the “Mission: Impossible” franchise, titled “Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning,” scheduled to hit theaters on May 23. He reprises his role as Ethan Hunt, alongside a notable ensemble cast that includes Hannah Waddingham, Nick Offerman, and Angela Bassett.
Since first portraying the character in 1996, Cruise has become synonymous with the action-packed series. His ability to captivate audiences through high-stakes missions has contributed to the franchise’s enduring success, paralleling the latest buzz around “Sinners.”
