There have been many entertainers claiming that they are the ‘King’ of every genre out there, but when it comes to how it all started, don’t act like you forgot, it started with the “King of Rock ‘n’ Roll,” and yep, he’s back!

To celebrate 85 years of Elvis Presley and 50 years since the 1970 release of one of his most iconic films, the King returns to cinemas – remastered – with Elvis: That’s The Way It Is: Special Edition.

This unmissable event for fans is coming to cinemas across North America from December 3 to 6. The film took the number one spot on the UK cinema box office on night of release, making it the biggest popular music concert release of 2020 at that time.

On July 31, 1970, in Las Vegas, Nevada, Elvis Presley staged a triumphant return to the concert stage from which he had been absent for almost a decade. His series of concerts broke all box office records and completely re-energized his career.

This feature-length documentary and concert film features performances including “Love Me Tender,” “Heartbreak Hotel” and “Suspicious Minds.” Crossing the footlights, revealing the legendary singer as a man preparing for an emotional career comeback, the fans who travelled from all over the world for this history-making event…. and the electrifying live performance of the man who gave us rock ‘n’ roll.

“Following the success in the UK and other territories earlier in the year, we’re so excited to be partnering with Warner Bros. and Authentic Brands Group to be bringing this seminal film to cinemas in North America,” said Kymberli Frueh, SVP, Programming and Content Acquisitions of Trafalgar. “The film marks the start of a new global event cinema distribution relationship between Trafalgar Releasing and Warner Bros. and we look forward to collaborating closely with their team.”

Elvis: That’s The Way: Special Edition It Is will be screened in cinemas across North America from December 3 to 6. Tickets are now on sale beginning at ElvisThatsTheWayItIs.com, where fans can find the most up-to-date information regarding participating theaters.
