From Warner Bros. Television, Friends, which
debuted on September 22, 1994,
follows the lives and loves of a close-knit group of friends living
in New York City: siblings Ross
(David Schwimmer) and
Monica Geller (Courteney Cox), along with friends
Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry), Phoebe Buffay
(Lisa Kudrow), Joey Tribbiani
(Matt LeBlanc) and
Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston). A favorite among critics
and fans alike throughout its 10-season run, Friends
not only won the Emmy® for Outstanding Comedy Series,
but also garnered Emmy® Awards for series stars
Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow. Friends was
created by David Crane and
Marta Kauffman, who executive
produced the series with Kevin
Bright through Bright/Kauffman/Crane Productions in
association with Warner Bros. Television. A cultural phenomenon,
Friends has built a legacy of devoted fans that has
spanned over 25 years.
In September, Fathom Events and Warner Bros. presented
"Friends 25th: The One With The Anniversary," which
attracted more than 230,000 fans to movie theaters nationwide. The
three-night celebration grossed an estimated $2.9M across all dates, making it the second
highest-grossing U.S. event cinema release of 2019.
"Fans showed up in full force for our initial
Friends screenings, so we know there is demand for
more," said Fathom Events CEO Ray
Nutt. "We're excited to put eight classic episodes on the
big screen for fans to celebrate with their friends, just in
time for Thanksgiving."
Warner Bros. Television Group President & Chief Marketing
Officer Lisa Gregorian said,
"Fathom's events offer our incredible Friends fans an
opportunity to enjoy a shared viewing experience. These
Thanksgiving-themed episodes were digitally remastered for theaters
and we hope the fans enjoy coming together to feast on these
classics and celebrate with a Happy Friendsgiving."
