WWE’s biggest summer spectacle is heading to cinemas. For the first time, SummerSlam will be a two-night event and will screen live in select Regal Cinemas across the U.S. on 2 and 3 August.

The cinema rollout marks the beginning of a multi-event agreement, with SummerSlam serving as the official launch for WWE Premium Live Events (PLEs) being shown in movie theatres. Fans can now experience the larger-than-life action with theatre-quality visuals and sound offering a near-ringside feel.

What to expect at this year’s WWE SummerSlam?

SummerSlam 2025 promises to deliver high-stakes matchups. Headlining the event is a highly anticipated rematch between John Cena and Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship. The two clashed earlier this year at WrestleMania 41, and their rivalry is expected to escalate in this main event showdown.

Another marquee match will feature CM Punk facing Gunther for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. With both nights expected to run around four hours each, fans can look forward to a full card packed with action, surprises, and special guest appearances.

 

How does WWE benefit from the theatre experience?

According to Will McIntosh, President of Fandango, this move aims to elevate WWE’s live event viewing to a more immersive setting. “WWE is one of the most dynamic global entertainment brands, and its events deserve a theatrical experience. We're excited to bring SummerSlam to cinema screens nationwide,” he said in a statement.

Brooks LeBoeuf, Senior Vice President of Content at Regal Cinemas, also emphasised the appeal. “Bringing SummerSlam into our theatres offers fans the chance to feel closer to the ring than ever before,” he said, hinting at future WWE cinema tie-ins.

Jeethu Joseph confirms 'Drishyam 3' story will focus on Georgekutty’s family and psychological fallout

Highlights:

  • Drishyam 3, starring Mohanlal and directed by Jeethu Joseph, is set to begin shooting in September 2025.
  • The third part will focus more on Georgekutty’s family dynamics, rather than an external investigation.
  • Jeethu Joseph completed the first draft of the script after a mentally and physically draining process.
  • Both Malayalam and Hindi versions of the film will release simultaneously, a first for the franchise.

Drishyam 3 is officially in motion, and filmmaker Jeethu Joseph has teased just enough to heighten anticipation for what’s coming next in Georgekutty’s story. At a recent college event in Muvattupuzha, Joseph revealed that this chapter won’t be about outside threats or police investigations; instead, it will turn inward. The narrative will focus squarely on Georgekutty’s family, exploring how they’ve been psychologically shaped by their past.

“Drishyam 3 is about how people within the family perceive past events differently as they grow,” Joseph shared, hinting that this time, the emotional tension will stem more from within the home than from authorities.
