Nearly a year after “Heated Rivalry” debuted on streaming, fans are venturing to movie theaters to rewatch the steamy romance between hockey superstars Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams) and Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie).

The limited theatrical release, which is scheduled from Nov. 6 through Nov. 30, has generated $1.4 million from 945 theaters, according to distributor Regal Entertainment. Moviegoers were able to choose between three paired screenings (episodes 1 and 2: “Rookies” and “Olympians”, episodes 3 and 4: “Hunter” and “Rose,” and episodes 5 and 6: “I’ll Believe in Anything” and “The Cottage”), with tickets for each showtime costing $9.99. That’s less than the average movie price, which is $12.87 for standard screenings, according to research firm EntTelligence.
