Ryan Coogler\u2019s compelling new supernatural film Sinners<\/a>\u00a0has been turning heads since it hit theaters last April.<\/p>\n The film achieved a near-perfect 97% score on Rotten Tomatoes, earned over $350 million at the box office, and broke an Oscars record with 16 nominations<\/a>, including Best Picture, Directing, and Original Screenplay.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also evoked widespread hometown pride, given that Coogler himself grew up in Oakland. <\/p>\n Here in the Bay Area we\u2019re lucky to one theater currently presenting a rare screening of Sinners<\/a> Oakland\u2019s Grand Lake Theater, which will show the film in 70mm 5-perf projection until Wednesday, March 18. More on that below.<\/p>\n In a recent YouTube video for Kodak, Coogler himself brought up the significance that the Grand Lake Theater screenings hold for him. \u201cThe Grand Lake Theater in Oakland\u2026 is\u00a0where I watched some of my first movies with my parents. Means the world,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n The Grand Lake Theater is one of a few\u00a0theaters in the country that are currently presenting Sinners on 70mm. The wide 70mm film results in a much sharper image than you may be used to with traditional 35mm, and the 5-perforation film results in a wide 2.76:1 aspect ratio. It\u2019s rare to experience this type of format in theaters these days.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s an incredible experience to watch a film like this, to have that projector running behind you,\u201d said Coogler.\u00a0 \u201cTo know there\u2019s incredible technicians that have specialized hands and knowledge that are making this happen.\u201d<\/p>\n Sinners aside, the Grand Lake Theater is worth visiting simply for its old-school, vintage feel. The historic venue is nearly a century old, and each of its four auditoriums exhibits a charming retro character, from gilded gold wall embellishments to 1920s Moorish detailing. While most films are presented using digital projection, the theater has retained its 35mm and 70mm capabilities for special screenings like Sinners.<\/p>\n Coogler famously directed fantastic films including Black Panther, Creed, and Fruitvale Station. His new film Sinners delves into horror territory, following two twin brothers played by Michael B. Jordan as they face a supernatural evil in the 1932 Mississippi Delta.<\/p>\n Visit the Grand Lake Theater website<\/a> to see the story play out in one-of-a-kind 5-perf 70mm,\u00a0or find the closest screening of Sinners to you here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sinners (2025) via Warner Bros.
