I agree with this article. It would be nice if #SINNERS could make the IMAX rounds again based on demand. Coming back for just a mere week's run on ONLY 8 IMAX screens across the country doesn't cut it. They should've pushed back #Thunderbolts.
Sinners, Thunderbolts*, and the Need to Rethink IMAX Releases
Right now a new superhero movie with the name Avengers in the title is playing on every IMAX screen in the country. But many folks would seem to rather see an original vampire flick in that format.
