Sinners Returns to IMAX: Must-See Horror Hits Theaters Oct. 30

UPDATE: One of the most acclaimed horror films of 2025, Sinners, is making a thrilling return to theaters! Directed by Ryan Coogler, this vampire masterpiece will be shown exclusively in select IMAX theaters starting October 30, 2025, for just one week until November 5, 2025.

This urgent engagement comes right in time for Halloween, giving fans a golden opportunity to experience the spine-chilling film on a massive screen. Variety was the first to confirm the news after Coogler shared the exciting details at a recent screening. While Polygon has reached out to Warner Bros. for further confirmation, the buzz is already palpable.

If you missed Sinners during its initial release, now is the perfect chance to catch it, especially in IMAX, where its stunning visuals elevate the horror experience. The original run was cut short when Disney’s Thunderbolts took over IMAX screens just two weeks after its debut. For many, this may be the first time to witness the film in IMAX — an opportunity not to be missed!

Coogler has crafted a gripping narrative filled with blood, family trauma, and lost love, featuring Michael B. Jordan in a stunning dual performance as twins Smoke and Stack. Reflecting on the casting, Coogler expressed his pride in Jordan’s ability to tackle the complex roles, stating,

“We asked him to do this difficult thing technically, playing two different characters, but it also was a performance that we needed to have the backstory that we had before to pull this off.”

The emotional depth and horror blend seamlessly in this film, making it a standout in the genre.

As excitement mounts, Coogler hinted at future projects, including a much-anticipated reboot of The X-Files. He emphasized the personal connection to this project, saying,

“My mom means the world to me — she’s actually here tonight — so this is a big one for me. I want to do right by her and the fans.”

This adds another layer of human interest to Coogler’s work, showcasing his dedication to storytelling that resonates on a personal level.

For those who have yet to see Sinners, mark your calendars! The film hits select IMAX theaters on October 30, just in time for Halloween thrills. Whether you’re a die-hard horror fan or just looking for a great film to watch this spooky season, Sinners promises an unforgettable cinematic experience.
