"Recently, Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another proved that even new characters can lead their own movies, but the biggest original movie of the year was undoubtedly , Ryan Coogler's period vampire thriller that brought bloodsuckers to the Mississippi Delta. While Sinners was a box office hit, it wasn't available as it was meant to be seen for very long in the format that served it best."
"According to , Sinners is returning to selected IMAX theaters from October 30-November 5, meaning fans can experience it in the large format it was filmed in. Granted, the stories-tall IMAX 70mm screenings are few and far between, but even in standard IMAX, the aspect ratio changes completely change the viewing experience of the story itself. In fact, if you were to pull up the movie on HBO Max right now, it would include the expansion into the ultra-large IMAX frame at key moments."
"This marks the second time Sinners has come back to IMAX theaters. In April, the previously-scheduled release of Marvel's Thunderbolts kicked it out of IMAX, but it was brought back to 70mm screens in mid-May. Now, however, it'll be shown on IMAX throughout the country, not just the handful outfitted with a 70mm projector. Not only does this move bring the film back for spooky season, it also keeps it fresh in the minds of those in power as we come into award season."
Original movies continue to attract audiences despite franchise dominance. Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another and Ryan Coogler's period vampire thriller Sinners showcased strong original storytelling. Sinners succeeded at the box office but lacked extended availability in its intended 70mm IMAX presentation. Sinners will return to selected IMAX theaters October 30–November 5 so viewers can experience the large-format framing and aspect-ratio expansions that alter the viewing experience; HBO Max also includes IMAX expansion at key moments. The film previously returned to 70mm in mid-May and will now play on IMAX nationwide, bolstering its awards-season profile.
