Christmas is coming early for IMAX 70mm lovers — and for anyone rooting for two of this year’s biggest awards-season contenders. Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another and Ryan Coogler’s Sinners are officially heading back to theaters next month for a very limited, one-week run in IMAX 70mm.
Beginning december 12, both films will hit select IMAX locations across North America and London, with a handful of U.S. theaters kicking off early screenings on december 11. Tickets are on sale now, and if you missed these films in their original premium-format runs — or just want to experience them again the way they were meant to be seen — this is the moment.
Where You Can Watch the IMAX 70mm Engagement
Select theaters include:
- AMC Lincoln Square — New York City, NY
- Universal AMC CityWalk — Los Angeles, CA

Both films have been dominating the cultural conversation and the awards chatter all year long — and this encore theatrical run puts them back in front of voters as Oscar nominations loom in January 2026.
Coogler’s Sinners currently has the commercial edge — opening to $48M in april and climbing to over $360M worldwide — making it one of the year’s biggest original hits. PT Anderson’s One Battle After Another followed in september with a strong $22M debut and a $200M global total, propelled in part by huge premium-format support.
Both films were IMAX favorites the first time around, and this special 70mm event puts them right back in the awards-season spotlight, just weeks before voters begin filling out their ballots.
