Commissions Earned

The 2025 film “Sinners” arrives on 4K UHD Blu-ray, 4K UHD Blu-ray SteelBook, and Blu-ray on July 8th via Warner Bros. Discovery Home Entertainment. Ryan Coogler wrote, produced, and directed the movie. It stars Michael B. Jordan, Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton, Jack Oโ€™Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller, and Delroy Lindo. This movie is “Certified Fresh” based on critics and is also “Verified Hot” based on audiences on Rotten Tomatoes.

Home video releases will feature the IMAX aspect ratio (for select scenes) and shift to a different aspect ratio. Here’s a statement specifically concerning that (taken from the press release).

“Sinners will be presented with expanded aspect ratio sequences, allowing consumers to see both 1.78:1 and 2.76:1 aspect ratios, as intended by the filmmaker for home viewing.”

This variable includes a 2.76:1 aspect ratio and a 1.78:1 aspect ratio. The 4K release will feature both HDR10 and Dolby Vision for high dynamic range. The 4K and Blu-ray will each include Dolby Atmos sound. The Blu-ray will also feature the same tech specs for the aspect ratio of IMAX footage. Both the 4K UHD Blu-ray and Blu-ray releases will include a digital copy of the film compatible with Movies Anywhere.

The 4K UHD Blu-ray, 4K UHD Blu-ray SteelBook (pictured below), and Blu-ray are now available for preorder at Amazon. You can also find the 4K UHD Blu-ray, 4K UHD Blu-ray SteelBook, and Blu-ray available for preorder at Walmart.
