Dude Perfect and Regal Cinemas announced a partnership bringing Dude Perfect: The Hero Tour documentary to hundreds of theaters this fall. The film will screen across 800 locations in the US, UK, Western Europe, and Australia for a two-week run starting September 26th, featuring tour highlights plus exclusive backstage content.

Why It Matters: Movie theaters are getting creative with live sports, TV premieres, and special content to fill seats as ticket sales remain below pre-pandemic levels. Now they're turning to creators who can draw families out of their homes—bringing passionate communities and new content to theaters.

This gives Dude Perfect supporters who missed their live tour a chance to experience it differently, while continuing their aggressive expansion beyond YouTube into merchandise, brand partnerships, an upcoming theme park, and more.

Creators are already finding TV success, but the big screen might be next. If successful, other theaters and studios may pursue creators—from starring in films like Addison Rae in I Know What You Did Last Summer, to directing them like Danny and Michael Philippou (RackaRacka YouTube channel creators who directed Talk To Me), to bringing original and repackaged content to theaters nationwide.
