You might think it’s a little weird to be airing a show that was presented in the old school 4:3, full screen television format (before wide, flat screen televisions were standard), butFriendswas actually shot on 35mm film and will be remastered in 4K for this theatrical re-release, which means it will be presented it the original widescreen format it was shot in.
The episodes begin at 7pm local time each night, and you’re able to checkFathom Eventsto find out which theaters closest to you are hosting the anniversary screenings.
