Ryan Coogler rules out 'Sinners' sequel, calls film full meal

Ryan Coogler calls Sinners a complete experience, rules out a sequel despite box office success.

"I wanted the movie to feel like a full meal. - Ryan Coogler"

Washington, June 3

Director Ryan Coogler has confirmed that there will be no sequel to his supernatural horror film 'Sinners', starring Michael B. Jordan.

As per Deadline, in a recent interview, Coogler explained that he intentionally designed the film as a standalone project, wanting it to feel like a complete and holistic experience.

"I wanted the movie to feel like a full meal: your appetisers, starters, entrees, and desserts, I wanted all of it there," Coogler said.

"I wanted it to be a holistic and finished thing," he added, as quoted by Deadline.

This approach was a deliberate departure from his work on franchise films like 'Creed' and 'Black Panther', where he sought to create something original and unique.

Despite Coogler's intentions, 'Sinners' has been a commercial success, reportedly grossing USD 48 million domestically and USD 63 million globally in its first weekend.

The film also made history as the second-best Monday for an R-rated horror film, earning USD 7.8 million, as per Deadline.

Coogler expressed his gratitude to fans on social media, thanking them for their support and acknowledging the film's impact on audiences.

Respect to Coogler for sticking to his vision! In India we have so many unnecessary sequels that ruin original films. A complete story is rare these days. 👏

But why not make a sequel when it's doing so well? Indian audiences love horror franchises - look at Stree and its upcoming sequel. Missed opportunity imo.

The food analogy is so Indian! 😂 We totally understand when he says "full meal" - our thali has everything complete in one plate. Excited to watch this now!

As a filmmaker myself, I appreciate this approach. Our industry needs more directors who value storytelling over franchise building. Hope Bollywood takes notes!

The numbers prove audiences want more, even if the director doesn't. Maybe they should consider spin-offs with new characters in the same universe?

Just watched it in Mumbai - what an experience! The ending was perfect. Sometimes less is more. Hollywood could learn from our single-episode horror stories like Tumbbad.
