While, yes, you can now fire up HBO Max and watch Sinners on your phone, Ryan Coogler’s vampire tale is best experienced on the big screen. Preferably, the biggest screen possible. And now, on the heels of the film’s record-breaking 16 Oscar nominations, it will soon be returning (yes, again, but we’re not complaining!) to select 70mm IMAX theaters.
Variety reports that Sinners will soon be back on the giant screen ahead of the Academy Awards (the ceremony is March 15) and “potentially beyond,” which is in keeping with Hollywood’s habit of re-releasing films that collect gold on Oscar night.
Still, in Sinners‘ case, it feels less like a cash grab and more like a celebration. Sixteen Oscar nominations is almost as jaw-dropping as the movie itself, after all.
Other multiple nominees will also be returning to IMAX, including One Battle After Another (also in 70mm) and Marty Supreme. Surprise Best Picture nominee F1 may also make a 70mm IMAX return, though that’s not yet confirmed, according to Variety.
Watching a movie—especially one as gorgeous and powerful as Sinners—in 70mm IMAX offers a reminder of the value theaters still hold for audiences in a time when streaming has become the most popular way to watch. Large-format junkies will get another visual treat this summer with Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, which breaks new ground as the first film entirely shot using 70mm IMAX cameras.
