Sinners

It’s time to dance with the Devil…again.

Ryan Coogler’s genre-mashing dance party from Hell, Sinners, is back at The Frida Cinema after winning four Academy Awards, including Best Actor for Michael B. Jordan, Best Original Screenplay for Ryan Coogler, Best Cinematography for Autumn Durald Arkapaw, and Best Original Score for Ludwig Göransson!

Set in 1932 in the Mississippi Delta during the Jim Crow era, Sinners follows twin brothers Smoke and Stack (both played by Michael B. Jordan) as they return home after years away trying to leave their troubled pasts behind. With plans to open a juke joint for their community using money earned in Chicago, the celebration takes a dark turn when supernatural forces are awakened and begin to menace the town.

A towering modern classic, Sinners has unheard of levels of ambition in the modern Hollywood landcape. Whether you’ve seen it already or are experiencing it for the first time, there’s no denying that the big screen is the best place to celebrate its massive success.

Weapons

Just added: guests that dress up like Aunt Gladys to either of our 10:15PM screenings will receive a free small popcorn!

Last night at 2:17 AM, every child from Mrs. Gandy’s class woke up, got out of bed, went downstairs, opened the front door, and walked into the dark.

The Frida Cinema is proud to present Zach Cregger’s suburban horror masterpiece Weapons, hot off the heels of its win at the 2026 Academy Awards, where Amy Madigan won Best Supporting Actress for your unforgettable performance as the terrifying Aunt Gladys.

Weapons tells the story of the quiet town of Maybrook, where a single, terrifying event shatters the community overnight. After seventeen children from the same elementary school class mysteriously vanish from their homes, their community is launched into chaos, with everyone wanting answers. What begins as a baffling missing-children case slowly spirals into something far more disturbing, as the town is forced to confront the possibility that the disappearances may be tied to a darker, more supernatural force lurking beneath the surface.

One of the biggest hits of the year as far as original stories are concerned, Weapons is exactly the type of bold, big-budgeting genre filmmaking we need to be celebrating right now. Don’t miss your chance to see it (or see it again) on the big screen!
