Today at CinemaCon, the annual gathering of theater owners in Las Vegas, Barco announced Warner Bros. Pictures’ “Sinners” is set for release in the HDR by Barco premium format.
Barco, the global leader in laser cinema, debuted the groundbreaking HDR by Barco experience last fall as part of a special exhibition in select markets in the U.S. and U.K. It is now rolling out the format, beginning with locations in Los Angeles and San Francisco. The highly-anticipated “Minecraft” movie, also from Warner Bros., opens this weekend in HDR by Barco theaters. Tickets are on sale now.
“Sinners” – April 18, 2025
From Ryan Coogler—director of “Black Panther” and “Creed” —and starring Michael B. Jordan comes a new vision of fear: “Sinners.” Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers (Jordan) return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back. “You keep dancing with the devil, one day he’s gonna follow you home.”
Based on the company’s patented Lightsteering technology, Barco’s approach to HDR works by strategically redistributing light on screen to produce highlights that are over 6x brighter than traditional projection, while retaining rich details in the darks for greater depth, clarity, and range. HDR by Barco delivers expansive creative possibilities for filmmakers, producing a wide color gamut with high-contrast images that captivate audiences.
