Warner Bros. and IMAX will bring Ryan Coogler’s Sinners back to premium screens for a one-week Halloween engagement, running October 30 through November 5 across select locations, including a limited number of IMAX 70mm venues. The studio and exhibitor framed the booking as an opportunity for audiences to revisit a film designed for the format, following earlier demand-driven reissues this year.
Showtimes will include eight IMAX 70mm theaters such as AMC Lincoln Square in New York and Universal CityWalk in Los Angeles, while standard IMAX screens will host the wider run in North America and select international markets. The Halloween placement positions the title for a seasonal bump alongside genre programming and specialty repertory offerings.
Sinners opened in April and grew into one of the year’s strongest word-of-mouth performers, buoyed by an A grade from CinemaScore and repeat premium-format attendance. The film, led by Michael B. Jordan, blends Southern Gothic horror with period musical elements and was photographed for IMAX exhibition; its earlier limited IMAX re-release in May signaled persistent large-format demand after an initial premium screen exit.
The Halloween return arrives as the movie maintains cultural visibility, from critical accolades and robust audience scores to community events tied to its Mississippi Delta setting. Coogler has emphasized both the film’s regional roots and its theatrical design, a stance consistent with the decision to prioritize IMAX showings for the latest encore. Premium-format “experiential” screenings have become a reliable tailwind for event-minded titles, and the distributor is again using the window to extend the film’s in-theater lifecycle while it remains available at home.
Exhibitor listings indicate the run spans the U.S., Canada, and the U.K., with ticketing hubs consolidating locations and dates as theaters finalize schedules. Fans looking for the 70mm IMAX presentation are being directed to a dedicated site that enumerates the handful of venues equipped for film projection, while digital IMAX bookings are being added in waves ahead of the weekend.
