The producers of Bohemian Rhapsody<\/a><\/em> want you to sing \u201cWe Are the Champions\u201d right along with them. They\u2019re re-releasing the film this week as a special \u201csing-along\u201d cut in 750 locations around the United States and Canada, as well as the regular version in 550 additional cinemas. The announcement follows the film\u2019s wins at the Golden Globes for Best Picture (Drama) and Best Actor (Drama), for Rami Malek<\/a>\u2019s portrayal of Freddie Mercury.<\/p>\n

The film\u2019s studio, Twentieth Century Fox, didn\u2019t explain exactly how a sing-along version would work, though the concept has already been a hit with audiences in South Korea<\/a>. In November, ABC News<\/a> reported that moviegoers had been enjoying a sort of karaoke version of the film. \u201cThe audience was singing, clapping and stamping their feet as if we were at a concert,\u201d Kim Jeong-hwa, a college graduate who had attended two Bohemian Rhapsody<\/em> sing-alongs, told the network. \u201cThe biggest difference from a regular screening and a sing-along is that they have English song lyrics instead of Korean subtitles, which makes it easy for us to follow along.\u201d<\/p>\n

An assistant marketing manager for Fox Korea, Chae Ji Su, told ABC News that the special screenings were an experiment. \u201cAt first, the Bohemian Rhapsody<\/em> sing-along session was planned as a short-term event, but thanks to the ardent support of fans, it was added to the official screening schedule,\u201d Chae said. At the time, the network reported that the film had earned more than $17 million in the country\u2019s box office.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also become a runaway success in the United States. It recently became the highest-grossing music biopic of all time, despite pre-release controversy over the firing of director Bryan Singer<\/a>, a filmmaker beleaguered with accusations of sexual misconduct<\/a> who reportedly clashed with Malek. The filmmaker was not thanked at the Golden Globes.<\/p>\n
