'Heated Rivalry.' Sabrina Lantos/HBO Max Heated Rivalry, the wildly popular sports-themed gay romance series, will heat up movie houses around the United States this fall. Some 650 participating theaters will screen the first season’s full six-show arc in two-episode couplings from Nov. 6 – 30. Screenings are also planned in the U.K., Australia, and New Zealand.
The theater chain Regal, which operates 275 theaters, is leading the distribution of the series, which will also be available to watch at theaters run by AMC, Cinemark, and other chains. Regal will be offering $9.99 passes for two-episode pairings. In addition to showing the episodes, Regal is promising “welcome content,” such as interviews with the series’ cast and creators, and some theaters will offer Heated Rivalry–inspired cocktails with names like Summer in Montreal and Russians Don’t Blush. Full details about Regal’s screenings are on the chain’s website.
