“Heated Rivalry” to be Release in Movie Theaters
Regal is leading the limited run in more than 650 U.S. theaters.
Fans of the erotic sports series Heated Rivalry can watch all episodes in movie theaters, beginning November 6.
Almost a year after the queer hockey romance series premiered in the U.S., Regal will release all six episodes in more than 650 theaters nationwide for a limited run Nov. 6-30.
“When a series connects with audiences the way ‘Heated Rivalry’ has, we look for ways to bring it to the big screen and give fans a reason to experience it together,” Brooks LeBoeuf, senior vice president of U.S. content at Regal, said on Thursday.
“Nearly a year after its premiere, we’re proud to work with our partners to turn a season fans have watched again and again into a true theatrical event. It’s a chance to celebrate the story, its creators and its performances before Season 2 arrives in 2027.”

The series quickly became a global hit, with Williams and Storrie becoming two of Hollywood’s most sought-after actors.
Regal screenings will also feature welcome content from the series’ cast and director, while participating locations will offer limited-time themed cocktails: Summer in Montreal and Russians Don’t Blush. In-theater marketing support is provided by PaperAirplane.
Advance tickets for “Heated Rivalry” are available now at theater box offices, on mobile apps and through REGmovies.com.
