Fortnite Pro-Am 2025 hits U.S. theaters

Esports tournament organizer BLASThas announced that its Fortnite Pro-Am 2025 event will be screened in select AMC theaters in the United States. The screening of the event in theaters is the result of a partnership between tournament organizer IMAX Corporation and ticketing company Fandango.

A total of eleven AMC theaters will screen the Pro-Am event to be held at the Galen Center in Los Angeles, California, on May 10, 2025. Tickets for the theatrical screening include accreditation, a limited edition poster and access to Twitch broadcasts that will take place during the event.

At FNCS Pro-Am 2025, 20 professional players will join forces with content creators to compete in the battle royale’s Reload mode for a chance to win a share of the $500,000 prize pool.

We are thrilled to be working with Fandango to bring FNCS Pro-Am to IMAX screens across the United States. This partnership marks an important moment for Fortnite Competitive fans – combining the spectacle of live eSports with the immersive power of cinematic viewing.

In recent years, the trend of showing esports events in cinemas has continued to grow. In 2022, Riot Games partnered with Lexis to screen League of Legends Worlds in cinemas around the world.
