Calling all Loons: Heated Rivalry is coming to 4DX

We are going to the cottage!

In the last year, Heated Rivalry took 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 Rivalry Season 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.

For some sense of what Heated Rivalry 4DX could entail, I'd recommend reading my review of the Wicker 4DX experience.

Sure, there's the saucy fun of having the motion-enhanced theater bucking seats along to love scenes. But there's also the joyful sense of community that comes from going to a 4DX theater to revel in romance and a bit of gimmicky immersive fun.

Online, fans are X are reacting with jokes and excitement.

And this one is NSFW:

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).

Heated Rivalry's full season is now streaming on HBO Max.
