Overview

• Movieclips released the deleted scene on YouTube June 9, featuring Delroy Lindo as Delta Slim performing “Preachin’” in the Smokestack Twins’ juke joint in a single-take split-diopter shot.
• Ryan Coogler omitted the sequence for pacing, as its laid-back blues number contrasted with the juke joint’s escalating tension.
• Slim’s ad-libbed lyrics underscore the film’s theme of music as an emotional bridge and mirror Preacher Boy Sammie’s internal struggle.
• Sinners has garnered widespread acclaim for its genre-blending narrative and technical innovation, becoming the highest-grossing original live-action U.S. film since Gravity.
• The movie has been available for digital rental and purchase since June 3 and is set for Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K release on July 8.
