The 2001 Muhammad Ali biopic Ali will return to theatres this weekend to celebrate the late boxing legend.

Sony Pictures said on Wednesday that Michael Mann’s film, starring Will Smith, will play in a few hundred theatres nationwide. Ali earned Oscar nominations for Smith and supporting actor Jon Voight as Howard Cosell.

Following Ali’s death Friday at 74, numerous theatres have also scheduled screenings of When We Were Kings. The 2006 Oscar-nominated documentary chronicles the 1974 Rumble in the Jungle match-up between Ali and George Foreman.
