hollywoodreporter.com

"Mr. Irrelevant," a mid-budget sports drama, secured a prime Christmas Day release after exceptional test screening scores, including a perfect 100 among women over 35. The film, starring David Corenswet and directed by Jonathan Levine, tells the true story of John Tuggle, the last pick in the 1983 NFL draft. It is the first theatrical feature from the Skydance Sports and NFL partnership. This release comes as sports dramas have been largely absent from multiplexes for years, with studios favoring tentpole films. "Mr. Irrelevant" aims to revive the genre's theatrical appeal.
