There is strength in numbers. Due to popular demand, Sinners will return to IMAX theaters for a limited release.
Sinners will play in nine select IMAX 70 mm theaters across North America from May 15 to May 21. The participating locations include Lincoln Square 13 & IMAX in New York, Universal Cinema AMC at Citywalk Hollywood & IMAX in Los Angeles, Regal Irvine Spectrum & IMAX in Irvine, AMC Metreon 16 & IMAX in San Francisco, Indiana State Museum IMAX in Indianapolis, Harkins Arizona Mills 18 & IMAX, Autonation IMAX at the Museum of Discovery and Science in Fort Lauderdale, Cinemark Dallas & IMAX in Dallas, and Cineplex Cinemas Vaughn in Ontario.
Tickets are now on sale for May’s limited run. The decision to re-release comes in the wake of Sinners departing IMAX screens this weekend for Marvel Studios’ Thunderbolts*.
“Audiences have spoken and we listened. If ever a film needed to be experienced in this incredible larger-than-life format, it’s Sinners,” Warner Bros. Pictures president of global distribution Jeff Goldstein 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.”
Written and directed by Ryan Coogler, Sinners follows twins and World War I veterans Smoke and Stack (Michael B. Jordan in dual roles) who return to the Mississippi Delta with plans to open a juke joint for the Black community. An Irish vampire named Remmick (Jack O’Connell) wreaks havoc, turning opening night into a fight for survival.
Sinners has been met with critical acclaim and an even stronger audience reaction. Sinners opened to $48 million domestically, but what’s even more impressive was its second-weekend tally of $45.7 million. That’s a less than 5% drop, giving Sinners all of the momentum for a long box office run. Coogler’s film has grossed $181 million worldwide as of May 1.
Sinners is now in theaters everywhere.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
