“Your friends are still there for you, 25 years later! Celebrate the milestone anniversary of the beloved sitcom, coming to the big screen for the first time ever!” reads the event’s page.
Friends – created by David Crane and Marta Kauffman – is a show about six friends in their 20s and 30s navigating life in New York City. The show debuted on September 22, 1994, and aired until May 2004. The 10-season show won the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series, while series stars Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow also got an Emmy for their performances.
Even after fifteen years, it is a favorite of many. It will be the first time Ross (David Schwimmer), Rachel (Jennifer Aniston), Joey (Matt LeBlanc), Monica (Courteney Cox), Chandler (Matthew Perry) and Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) will appear together on the big screen.
“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!” Lisa Gregorian, Warner Bros. Television Group President & Chief Marketing Officer, said in a statement.

Like with every hit show, this show also has some hidden but fascinating facts. One of the most important facts about this super-popular series is that its original name was not Friends. In the early 1990s, the co-creators initially titled it Insomnia Café. Along with the title, the plot was also a bit different, for example, instead of Ross and Rachel, Joey and Monica were supposed to be the key relationship.
After NBC purchased the pilot, the title was changed to Friends Like Us. NBC president Warren Littlefield also suggested a title for it – Across the Hall. Later, when the shooting started, the title was switched to Six of One, but when the show premiered in September 1994, the title was finally switched to Friends.
