Fans of popular American TV show 'Friends' have a reason to rejoice this festive season as their favourite sitcom will soon be aired in movie theatres. As a celebration of 25 years of the hit NBC show, Fathom Events is bringing eight Thanksgiving episodes from Friends to the big screen. The episodes have been remastered and will be shown in 4K resolution at 700 movie theaters in the US. The two-day screening is scheduled for November 24 and 25 where four episodes will be screened per day.
"What's Not To Like? Custard, Good. Jam, Good. Meat, Good!"
There are many moments in the show where Chandler, Phoebe, Joey, Rachel, Monica and Ross have gathered for Thanksgiving get-togethers and created memories cherished by the fans. Some of the funniest stories are when Monica puts a Thanksgiving turkey on her head to make up for Chandler's bad Thanksgiving in the past; when Rachel makes a curious trifle cake with custard and beef; when Ross reveals an old college secret to his parents; when Brad Pitt guest stars as Monica and Ross' friend Will Colbert and Joey gets meat sweats as he tries to finish an entire turkey; when Phoebe exposes Chandler’s canine allergy and when the four 'hanging heads' arrive late for Monica and Chandler's Thanksgiving party. Each one of these stories are iconic and will make for a great Thanksgiving experience for the fans.
'Friends' celebrated its 25th anniversary last month and has had special screenings in theaters across the United States and Canada. The Thanksgiving screenings are a part of these events where the show is celebrated for its popularity. The event company, Fathom Events responsible for the screenings revealed that there was a pop-up 'Friends' experience in New York last month. These screenings across the country attracted about 2.3 million viewers.

The show continues to be an all-time favourite for many even though the series ended in 2004 after 10 seasons. Friends is also available on Netflix for the fans. Although, Netflix has decided to remove the popular TV show from their library next year, Friends will be a part of HBO Max, a new streaming service to be launched in 2020.
