There’s going to be a lot more motion if you watch Heated Rivalry‘s Season 1 episodes 5 and 6 in Regal Theaters as fans will be able to experience the sports romance Canadian-produced series while wobbling in their seats.
Regal will be showing the final two episodes of the Crave hockey series in 4DX nationwide starting November 16. 4DX auditoriums are known for their motion-enabled seating and atmospheric effects which are timed to certain scenes on the big screen.
The series was released by Regal Cinemas to all circuits this past weekend and since Friday has accumulated a running domestic cume of $1.5 million. Regal cut a deal with Sphere Abacus to exhibit the Crave series. Fans watched Heated Rivalry in 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”).
Deadline first told you this weekend that a holiday Heated Rivalry movie is in the works which will hit theaters next December; the buzz is that it centers around Season 1 couple Scott (François Arnaud) and Kip (Robbie G.K.). No word yet as to who’ll be handling distribution.
