The back-to-back boost of “Minecraft” and “Sinners” has given Warner Bros. film chiefs Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy some breathing room as they try to lead the storied Burbank-based studio through a daunting recovery period.

After more than a decade directing films, Ryan Coogler’s projects have one thing in common - actor Michael B. Jordan.

“ Sinners ” represents Coogler’s most ambitious project to date, combining historical drama with supernatural elements while exploring themes of family, heritage, and racial identity. The film’s attention to period-specific details in clothing, architecture, and cultural artifacts creates an immersive viewing experience.
