Tom Cruise promotes ‘Sinners,’ prompting Michael B. Jordan response

Tom Cruise is one of the many fans of Sinners, and the vampire film’s star Michael B. Jordan is a fan of that.

Cruise went public with his adoration of the hit movie Sunday. Alongside a photo of himself standing in front of a wall-sized poster for the action-horror film, the star of the upcoming Mission: Impossible — the Final Reckoning wrote, “Congratulations Ryan, Michael, and to the entire cast and crew. Must see in a cinema and stay through the end credits!”

Jordan, who stars in dual roles as twin brothers Smoke and Stack in director Ryan Coogler‘s hit film, responded in the comments, writing, “Thanks for the love and support!!!” with two salute emojis and tagging Cruise.

Actress Yvonne Orji (HBO’s Insecure) quipped, “Game recognize game.” Other commenters applauded Cruise’s endorsement of seeing the film in theaters.

Cruise is far from the only one to give the movie a good review. As of Tuesday, it held a Certified Fresh rating of 98 percent from critics and 97 percent from “verified” audience members (those confirmed to have purchased tickets through Fandango) on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.

Less than two weeks into its release, the movie has earned $168.7 million worldwide, according to Box Office Mojo. It’s been the top-grossing film in the U.S. for both weekends it’s been out, and dropped just six percent from its first week.

Costarring Jack O’Connell, Delroy Lindo, Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton, and Saul Williams, Sinners tells the story of twins Smoke and Stack, who return to their Mississippi hometown for a fresh start and instead find evil in the form of vampires.

And that post-credits scene Cruise raved about? Not to give too much away, but Coogler told Entertainment Weekly last week that he’s pretty fond of it too.

“In many ways,” he said, “it was a reason for the movie.”

The latest of Cruise’s adventures in the Mission: Impossible world is scheduled to arrive in theaters May 23.

Cruise first played the part of the IMG agent in 1996’s Mission: Impossible, in between starring in movies Interview With the Vampire and Jerry Maguire.
