In 2021, shares of video game retailer GameStop Corp (NYSE: GME) surged to new highs in an epic David vs. Goliath battle between retail investors and short sellers.
While the storyline has been told several times, mostly in docuseries, a big screen movie will highlight the story with Hollywood actors playing the characters who investors might remember all too well.
What Happened: Set for a theatrical release on Sept. 22, 2023, “Dumb Money” stars Paul Dano, Pete Davidson and Seth Rogen and will see a limited release beginning Friday Sept. 15. Fans of the GameStop saga storyline or anyone who loves a good David vs. Goliath battle in a movie may enjoy it.
The Sony Group Corp (NYSE: SONY) production based on a book by Ben Mezrich titled “The Antisocial Network: The GameStop Short Squeeze and the Ragtag Group of Amateur Traders That Brought Wall Street to Its Knees.”
Dano stars as Keith Gill, also known as Roaring Kitty, a central character in the GameStop storyline.
