Luckiest Man in America release set (PYL movie)

[SuperMatch93]

He didn’t say it at the time but I believe Michael intended to win twenty grand on day one thus getting reps in then go hog wild on day two.

He does allude to that in the post-game chat with Peter; he said something along the lines of "I came only wanting twenty, so I could come back."

Good news: Buzzr's airing the actual episodes on April 14th at 5:30 PM ET.

Bad news: It could be the "pop-up video" version they posted to YouTube (which starts with the movie trailer).

Excellent review. Really enjoyed reading it!

Looks like I may have to wait until it drops on streaming:

Two multiplexes within a ½ mile of each other...Two different theater chains...The smaller multiplex is showing the same 6 movies the larger multiplex is...

Both also snubbed "The Day The Earth Blew Up".

This is one of the reasons I don't go to the theaters anymore.  The fact that the movie theaters in our area go for the same 5 or 6 movies when there are many others available, the prices for food and tickets, and the variety of movie genres available nowadays.

Has anyone posted that this is the first of TWO game show movies this year? I just saw it on iMDB. A remake of The Running Man is expected in November starring Glen Powell with Josh Brolin in the role only Richard Dawson could play.

[BrandonFG]

I was gonna say Josh Brolin seems a little young to play such a role. Then I Googled and saw he’s two years older than Richard was when the original Running Man came out.

Granted 1987’s view of the future seemed to be a little prophetic. The 2025 version might be a documentary.

I look forward to seeing it tomorrow. A few theaters in my area are showing it. I wouldn't be suprised if it doesn't last long in the theater. I mean, other than those of us game show fans out there, I don't see many people being drawn to it. They are offering mega discounts for some airings. It's almost like they can't give tickets away.

Hey, I’ve gotta wait until it hits streaming, DVD (or whatever the latest home release format is), or until IFC picks up the cable rights to see it. So, I'm kind of thankful for spoilers sneak peak!

We'll still move the bulk of that post to our spoiler-y thread, because I skipped over Bryan's post fearing that very thing (I have my tickets for next week), and Matt confirmed it for me.

I didn’t intend to spoil anything for anyone. Apologies if I did. Thx for moving it.

Great movie!!!! I laughed at the fact that 4 people walked out in the first ten minutes. But, just a great movie! Well worth the wait!

My wife and I saw the movie this afternoon.  There were only 2 other people in the theatre - a mom (maybe around 40) and her (looks-like) teen son.  After the show I told them this is based on a true story asked them what they thought.  She said she'd read about it and was interested in seeing it.  She also said that she'd like to seek out more episodes of the original.  I told her youtube is good place to start.

I didn't expect to see a big turnout for this.  For a while it looked like my wife and I would be the only two as they arrived just a couple minutes before the show started.

This is the first movie that I have wanted to go to the theatre to see since Lincoln back in January 2013.

I am curious to see it.
