Notable titles making a comeback include "Sinners," which was shot on 70mm film and is the only film between "Oppenheimer" and "Odyssey" to utilize Imax film cameras. The film has secured a record 16 Oscar nominations. "One Battle After Another," a recipient of 13 Oscar nominations, will also be shown on Imax 70mm.
