Craig Gillespie’s comedy-drama Dumb Money starts its three-step platform release this weekend courtesy of Sony, opening in eight theaters in LA, NY, Chicago, DC, Boston and San Francisco ahead of an expansion next week and a Sept. 29 wide release. Gillespie (I, Tonya, Lars and the Real Girl) saw lots of love in Toronto for the premiere of his tale of meme stocks, retail traders, riches and battles won and lost. Opening week cinemas include AMC Century City and The Grove (LA); AMC Lincoln Square, Regal Union Square (NY); AMC River East (Chicago); AMC Georgetown; AMC Boston Commons; and AMC Metreon (San Francisco).
The David and Goliath story is that of a phenomenon that exploded in 2021 where ordinary people surged into the market backing specific stocks, pounded them on social media and flipped the script on Wall Street as other piled in. They turned GameStop into the world’s hottest stock for a period, (and also saved movie theater chain AMC Entertainment from bankruptcy).
Paul Dano stars as Keith Gill, a lowly financial analyst in Boston who has a nerdy internet show at night where he talks about stocks. Gill sank his life savings into GameStop and began talking and posting about it. When the posts explode, so does his life and the lives of his online followers. As a stock tip becomes a movement, everyone gets rich until the billionaires fight back and both sides find their worlds turned upside down. Deadline review here. And see Gillespie’s interview with Deadline yesterday.
Also stars Pete Davidson, Vincent D’Onofrio, America Ferrera, Nick Offerman, Anthony Ramos, Sebastian Stan, Shailene Woodley and Seth Rogen. Written by Lauren Schuker Blum Rebecca Angelo, based on the book The Antisocial Network by Ben Mezrich.
Produced by Aaron Ryder, Teddy Schwarzman and Craig Gillespie. Executive producers Michael Heimler, John Friedberg, Andrew Swett, Johnny Holland, Ben Mezrich, Lauren Schuker Blum, Rebecca Angelo, Cameron Winklevoss, Tyler Winklevoss and Kevin Ulrich.
