Ryan Coogler made Sinners as a deliberate change of pace from big franchise films like Creed and Black Panther. He wanted to tell a more intimate, personal story without the pressure of building a larger cinematic universe. Because of this, a sequel to Sinners doesn’t seem likely anytime soon. Luckily, the world of Sinners can still expand through other mediums besides live-action movies.
Tonight marks 49 years since the concert happened – it was Thanksgiving night, November 25th, 1976. The concert film, which is now available to watch for free on YouTube, came out in April 1978. Because of the Thanksgiving connection, I always make sure to watch it every Thanksgiving, and I definitely turn up the volume, just like the film’s opening title suggests!
