Following its overwhelming success, Sinners is returning to IMAX 70mm screens for a week this month. An official post from @IMAX on Thursday, May 1, revealed the ticket sales and locations for the upcoming run.
The re-release gives fans another chance to witness the modern classic in arguably the best way possible. However, @FilmUpdates posted a rather anticlimactic update regarding Sinners’ re-run. The X account revealed that the forthcoming IMAX screenings had been sold out, resulting in AMC’s website crashing.
The update was quite disappointing for many, as netizens expressed their desire to watch the Ryan Coogler-directed horror film on the IMAX 70mm screens. A user shared a “Wes Fall GIF” and demanded the re-run be extended by another week,
“The way the website was crashing before It even sold out. We need another week!
Someone else posted an “Angry Kid GIF” and wrote,
“the way i still haven’t seen it in 70mm imax because yall are SELLING IT OUT”

Internet users react after AMC’s website reportedly crash out after Sinners’ IMAX screenings sold out in the US
The Hailee Steinfeld and Michael B. Jordan starrer earned much acclaim during its initial theatrical run, with many lauding how the film played out on IMAX 70mm screens. The online buzz led to the re-release, which is happening in May. However, the tickets reportedly being sold out — and AMC’s website crashing — received many reactions on X.
“poor Thunderbolts, but we want Sinners back in Imax FR,” a user demanded.
“Nice! Now that is what demand really looks like. Time to open up more screens,” another user expressed.
“Need them to add more I ain’t even get to cop a ticket🤦🏾♂️,” someone shared.
“the way i was considering buying IMAX 70MM tickets for sinners today but I figured they'd still be around by next week. My bad.🤷♀️,” another one claimed.
A user remarked,
“Cinema isn’t dead. She’s just been waiting for Coogler. And people press refresh refresh refresh…”
Another user said,
“This the type of movie you need Apple Vision for”
Someone wrote,
“Saw it regular last week and on IMAX last night … yall !!!! WE NEED ANOTHER MONTH OF SINNERS IN IMAX”

During the conversation, the Black Panther director identified himself as a foundational Black American and shared how his MCU projects allowed him to explore his distant ancestry — while his recent horror film prompted research into his more recent lineage.
Coogler had previously shared his regret on The Breakfast Club about ignoring history as a descendant of formerly enslaved Black people.
