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.
"We're thrilled to celebrate the 25th anniversary of
Friends, a TV show that continues to impact culture
and attract new fans from across generations," said Fathom Events
CEO Ray Nutt. "Fans will have the
opportunity to come together and look back on some of the most
hilarious and emotional scenes from the acclaimed comedy — this
time in theaters."
Warner Bros. Television Group President & Chief Marketing
Officer Lisa Gregorian said, "The
cultural impact that Friends continues to
have, 25 years after its premiere, is astounding, a true testament
to the genius of Marta Kauffman,
David Crane, Kevin Bright and the incredibly talented cast.
It is so amazing to know that the series is still bringing people
of all ages together. We could not be more excited to deliver these
digitally remastered episodes to theaters - for the first time
ever! - so that together, in a shared experience, our loyal fans
can enjoy some of their
favorite Friends scenes in a new way."
