Mötley Crüe's 2019 biopic "The Dirt" is coming to the big screen.

Driving the news: The film, initially released on Netflix, will screen at theaters across the country on Saturday.

Screenings include a bonus showing of Mötley Crüe's 1986 documentary "Uncensored" and a pre-taped Q&A session with the band.

If you go: There's just one screening locally at 7pm at Regal Crocker Park.

The intrigue: "The Dirt" notably features a standout performance by Cleveland's Machine Gun Kelly (real name Colson Baker) as drummer Tommy Lee.

The film generated a slight resurgence for Mötley Crüe, something the band is surely hoping for again.

What's next: The theatrical release comes less than a month before the band kicks off its summer tour, which stops at Blossom Music Center on Aug. 24.
