In the last year, Heated Rivalrytook the world by storm, blowing up on streaming, launching leading men Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams, and getting a theatrical release. Now, 4DX is coming to appease the fandom, lovingly known as “loons.”
On Tuesday, The Hollywood Reporter announced that Regal Cinemas has partnered with CJ 4DPLEX to screen the final two episodes of Heated RivalrySeason 1 at 59 Regal 4DX auditoriums across the U.S., with additional theaters participating in the UK and Canada.
The 4DX screenings of these episodes will begin Nov. 16, meaning audiences can experience the romance between professional hockey rivals/secret lovers Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov in a new way.

Heated Rivalry 4DX tickets will be for sale on Regal’s website, where fans can also purchase themed popcorn buckets and soda cups. (Though nothing on the outrageousness level of the Dune popcorn buckets).
