MÖTLEY CRÜE's 'The Dirt' Biopic Comes To Select REGAL Cinemas For One Night Only; Bonus Content Includes Q&A With Bandmembers

June 11, 2026

For the first time ever, fans across the United States will have the opportunity to experience MÖTLEY CRÜE's acclaimed biopic "The Dirt" on the big screens at Regal for a special one-night-only theatrical event on Saturday, June 27.

"Concert movies, documentaries, and biographical films provide music lovers with big screen, behind-the-scenes access to the biggest acts in rock 'n' roll," said Brooks LeBoeuf, senior vice president of U.S. content at Regal. "Partnering with Live Nation, MÖTLEY CRÜE, Netflix and Submarine Deluxe, Regal moviegoers are getting a stadium-sized theatrical release of 'The Dirt'."

This theatrical release of "The Dirt" is part of MÖTLEY CRÜE's 45th-anniversary celebration and serves as the precursor to "The Return Of The Carnival Of Sins" North American tour, which begins on July 17. Before the film, audiences will enjoy an exclusive never-before-seen pre-show question-and-answer video featuring members of MÖTLEY CRÜE created specifically for this big-screen event.

Based on MÖTLEY CRÜE's bestselling autobiography "The Dirt: Confessions Of The World's Most Notorious Rock Band", this tell-all biopic gives moviegoers an all-access pass to the on-and-off stage lives of one of the most iconic groups in rock 'n' roll history. Chronicling the band's rise from the Sunset Strip to the world stage through alternating viewpoints, the film explores what it meant to each member as they became "The World's Most Notorious Rock Band."

Immediately following the film, fans will experience the first-ever theatrical showing of the legendary 1986 documentary "Mötley Crüe: Uncensored", which follows band members around Los Angeles and features excerpts from two never-before-seen videos for "Take Me To The Top" and "Public Enemy #1" plus 25 uncensored minutes of behind-the-scenes footage.

The one-night-only event will take place at 98 Regal locations across the country three weeks before the band embarks on its 33-date "The Return Of The Carnival Of Sins" North American tour commemorating the 20th anniversary of the band's iconic "Carnival Of Sins" tour. Promoted by Live Nation, the tour will bring MÖTLEY CRÜE's high-impact live show — renowned for its decades-spanning catalog of hits, explosive production, and unforgettable visuals — to fans across North America. On July 10, the band will also release a limited-edition picture disc box set, "Crücial Crüe 1981-1989", available for pre-order via BMG.

Advance tickets for showtimes of "The Dirt" at Regal locations are available now at select theatre box offices / kiosks, on the mobile app, and through REGmovies.com. Regal guests can also secure seats for screenings of "The Dirt" by joining Regal Unlimited where subscribers see as many movies whenever and wherever they want.

The quartet has amassed nearly 10 billion streams and has over 9.5 million followers on social media.

Known for its iconic live performances, MÖTLEY CRÜE has sold out countless tours around the world in front of millions of fans and pioneered the Las Vegas rock residency with a sold-out run in 2012. Hit songs, like "Kickstart My Heart" and "Home Sweet Home" are frequently licensed by major brands such as NASCAR, Dodge, Coldwell Banker, Carl's Jr. and KIA, and their music can be heard on hit TV shows like "Stranger Things" and "Cobra Kai", among others. The band's biography, "The Dirt: Confessions Of The World's Most Notorious Rock Band", became a New York Times Best Seller in 2001 and has sold over one million copies worldwide. Members of the band have authored five additional New York Times best-selling books since. In 2019, Netflix premiered "The Dirt", a biopic based on the best-selling book. MÖTLEY CRÜE remains a huge global draw 43 years into their career, wrapping up a two-year stadium world tour in late 2023. In 2024, the band ushered in a brand-new era, signing to Big Machine Records and releasing the single "Dogs Of War". 2025 saw MÖTLEY CRÜE return to the Las Vegas Strip for the band's third Sin City residency with ten nights at Dolby Live at Park MGM.
