'Sinners' Re-Release for 70mm Showings Draws Moviegoers to Indianapolis
- The IMAX Theatre in Indianapolis began re-releasing the horror film Sinners in 70mm format from May 16 through May 21, attracting moviegoers nationwide.
- This re-release followed IMAX's prior removal of Sinners from its 70mm rotation to accommodate a Marvel movie, despite Sinners’ surprise blockbuster status and original 70mm filming.
- Sinners, directed by Ryan Coogler and released last month, is a period horror set in 1932 Mississippi about Black twin brothers opening a juke joint during the Great Depression.
- The film earned over $220 million domestically, holds a 97% Rotten Tomatoes rating, and incorporates a cultural narrative on country music’s Black roots, amplified by Rhiannon Giddens’ musical contributions.
- The 70mm re-release is expected to continue drawing cinephiles to Indianapolis due to the scarcity of theaters equipped for such projection and the film’s ongoing cultural resonance.
