Believe it or not, The Breakfast Club celebrates its 30th anniversary on Sunday. To mark that occasion - or to mourn the fact that we’re all getting old - Universal is giving the film a quick run in theaters.
The studio teamed up with Fathom Events and BY Experience to show the film on two days in March - Thursday, March 26 and Tuesday, March 31. So, just make sure you don’t get sent to detention on either of those days.
The screenings will also include an added featurette titled The Breakfast Club - A Retrospective. As for the film itself, it was newly remastered for this release.
The Breakfast Club hit theaters on Feb. 15, 1985 and grossed $45.8 million in the U.S. It was written and directed by the late John Hughes, the same director behind Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Planes, Trains and Automobiles and Sixteen Candles.
Of course, the movie is a cultural milestone, introducing us to the Rat Pack, made up of Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy and Anthony Michael Hall.
While it’s great that the film is hitting theaters again, the studios should do these anniversary celebrations more often and have the screenings during the weekends. Audiences should get to see movies on the big screen, even if we all have copies at home.
