Ryan Coogler’s ‘Sinners’ Will Returns to IMAX
After a strong theatrical run, Ryan Coogler’s latest film Sinners is making a grand return to select IMAX theaters for a limited 70mm re-release, starting May 15 through May 21.
Originally released over Easter weekend on April 18, Sinners has already pulled in $48 million and continues to perform steadily at the box office.
Now, Warner Bros. is giving fans another chance to experience the film the way it was meant to be seen — in full-scale 70mm IMAX.
The re-release will run in nine IMAX locations across North America, including theaters in Los Angeles, Irvine, New York City, San Francisco, Indianapolis, Phoenix, Fort Lauderdale, Dallas, and Toronto.
“We heard the audience loud and clear,”
said Jeff Goldstein, President of Global Distribution at Warner Bros. Pictures.
“This is the kind of film that truly deserves to be seen on the biggest screen possible. Ryan crafted Sinners with IMAX in mind, and we’re thrilled to offer moviegoers the opportunity to immerse themselves in it again — or for the first time — in 70mm.”
Set in post-World War I Mississippi, Sinners follows twin brothers — both played by Michael B. Jordan — who return home only to find themselves face to face with a deeper, more sinister threat.
The film also stars Hailee Steinfeld, Delroy Lindo, Wunmi Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller, Jack O’Connell, and Miles Caton.
Written and directed by Academy Award nominee Ryan Coogler, the film has drawn critical acclaim and industry praise, with Spike Lee calling it a genre-defying masterpiece.
“Ryan created something completely new. I don’t even know what to call it — it’s not just horror. But it’s something we really need right now,”
Lee said in a recent podcast appearance.
In a letter to fans, Coogler reflected on the purpose behind the film.
“This was always meant to be a story for audiences, inspired by my family and ancestors,”
he wrote.
“We made this with the theater in mind, knowing the emotional and communal power of the cinematic experience.”
He continued,
“Your response to this film means everything. It’s a reminder of why we do what we do. Maybe together, we can even reshape what a blockbuster looks like — and who it’s made for.”
