Are you going to invite them in… again? That’s right, Black Panther director Ryan Coogler’s new film Sinners has taken the box office by storm — so naturally, it already has plans to return to IMAX screens following the Thunderbolts* run.
The movie is set to do an extra week theatrical run at eight 70mm IMAX screens nationwide: Los Angeles, Irvine, New York, San Francisco, Indianapolis, Phoenix, Ft. Lauderdale, Dallas, as well as Toronto as the ninth screen in North America as a whole. Tickets went on sale May 1 for a weeklong run from May 15-21 — and unsurprisingly, the re-release run is already selling fast.
“Audiences have spoken and we listened. If ever a film needed to be experienced in this incredible larger-than-life format, it’s Sinners,” Jeff Goldstein, President of Global Distribution for Warner Bros. Pictures said in a statement.
“Ryan has delivered a film that has been embraced by fans who appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into creating a film for this screen-filling format and we wanted to give everyone the opportunity to see it — or see it again — in 70mm IMAX.”
Sinners is currently sitting at just over $181 million at the global box office, and positive word of mouth could see it push through the $200 million barrier towards $250.
