One of the biggest breakout TV shows of 2025 has now found success at the box office. The “Heated Rivalry” Season 1 finale ended last year with a barnburner and the show’s popularity has only continued to grow since then. While fans eagerly await Season 2, Regal Cinemas partnered with HBO Max and Crave to bring the first season to theaters. Fans turned up to see Shane and Ilya on the silver screen.
As “Godzilla Minus Zero” ruled the box office with a $30.5 million opening, much further down on the weekend’s chart, “Heated Rivalry” pulled in a respectable $1.4 million on just over 1,000 screens, making for a solid $1,409 per-screen average. That’s certainly not bad for a show that anyone could stream right now from the comfort of home with the price of a subscription they likely already pay for.
