“Words can’t express the gratitude that I feel for everyone and the outpour of love for our film!!” he said in the video. “It’s a crazy feeling to know how many of you have showed up and continue to support this film. This is why we make movies and love watching movies on the big screen. It brings people together!!”

In Sinners, twin brothers Smoke and Stack (Jordan in a dual role) return to their hometown to start over again and leave their troubled pasts behind, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back. Check out the trailer below: Written and directed by Oscar-nominated visionary, Coogler, Sinners also stars Oscar-nominee Hailee Steinfeld, Jack O’Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Miller, and Delroy Lindo. Drawing inspiration from his family’s deep Mississippi roots, Coogler crafted an unforgettable theater odyssey intended to be seen in IMAX 70mm—a rare format only available at eight theaters nationwide.

“Just from an exhibition sense in this day and age with folks having so much access to streaming and watching so many things on their phones, it’s nice to have a format like IMAX that can be an experience you can only experience in the theaters,” said Coogler in an interview with The Associated Press. “We’re using these two formats for the very first time,” added Coogler who helped make history with Cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw—the first female director of photography to shoot a movie on large format IMAX film. “It really complements the story, it really complements the setting and it really complements the filmmaking.”
