Fathom Events Brings Wedding Crashers Back to Theaters for 20th Anniversary Screening

Anniversary Return to Theaters

To mark two decades since its original release, “Wedding Crashers” is set to crash cinemas once again thanks to a partnership between Warner Bros. Pictures and Fathom Entertainment. The 20th-anniversary screenings will take place nationwide, reviving the outrageous exploits of John Beckwith (Owen Wilson) and Jeremy Grey (Vince Vaughn) for big-screen audiences. This limited run allows fans to relive their favorite moments and experience the movie’s wild comedic ride as it was meant to be seen—with a crowd!

Originally hitting theaters in July 2005, “Wedding Crashers” went on to become a box office juggernaut, grossing over $288 million globally and redefining adult comedy for the modern era. The upcoming event marks a rare opportunity for communal laughter, whether you’re hearing the gags for the first or fiftieth time.

Bonus Content for Superfans

This theatrical re-release features added value for superfans: in addition to a newly presented version of the film, audiences will enjoy a 10-minute bonus reel of deleted scenes, most of which have only been available on DVD and digital media until now. Seeing these moments—cut for pacing but packed with the film’s same sharp wit—on the big screen is a genuine treat, giving even the most devoted fans a reason to revisit the classic in theaters.

According to Fathom and Warner Bros., these bonus scenes are a highlight of the event: “Audiences will get to enjoy even more laughs and behind-the-scenes antics, making the night special for both new and returning fans.”

Cast, Director & Legacy

The film’s legendary cast includes Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn, Rachel McAdams, Isla Fisher, Bradley Cooper, Christopher Walken, Jane Seymour, Dwight Yoakam, and Will Ferrell—whose cameo as “Chazz” is still legendary in comedy circles. Helmed by David Dobkin (who also directed “Shanghai Knights” and “The Judge”), “Wedding Crashers” balanced slapstick, raunch, and surprisingly heartfelt moments, helping to define the early 2000s comedy boom.

“Wedding Crashers” continues to thrive due to its masterful comic timing, natural on-screen chemistry between its leads, and endlessly quotable script. Its legacy includes influencing a new generation of R-rated comedies and popularizing the odd-couple best friend dynamic for the next decade of Hollywood comedies.

Ticketing & Event Details

The nationwide 20th anniversary screenings are scheduled for December 4 and 11, 2025, and tickets are available now via the Fathom Events website and ticketing partners. Running time is just over two hours, including the bonus features. Organizers recommend early booking, as “Wedding Crashers” remains a perennial favorite and seats are expected to fill quickly in many regions.

This event is part of Fathom’s “Big Screen Classics” series, designed to celebrate and reintroduce iconic films for both old fans and a new generation of moviegoers.

Enduring Impact & Cultural Quotability

From “Rule #76: No excuses, play like a champion” to “Ma! The meatloaf!” and dozens more, “Wedding Crashers” remains one of the most quotable comedies of the past 20 years. The film set the bar for bromance comedies and continues to enjoy a huge fan base on streaming and cable. The 20th anniversary screenings promise not only nostalgia but the unique experience of joining an audience for the laughter, romance, and mayhem that made the film a modern classic.
