Sony Pictures has slated “Dumb Money” for theatrical release on October 20, 2023. The film, directed by Craig Gillespie, tells the true story of a Wall Street short squeeze that momentarily turned GameStop stock into the hottest investment in town.
The squeeze had initially been triggered by users of the subreddit r/wallsteetbets, an online forum, although some hedge funds also participated. The momentary skyrocketing of the video game store’s per-share value, from $17.25 in early January of 2021 to $500 just weeks later, turned the saga into a skewed David vs.
Goliath story. The narrative of amateur traders and “fans” of the company driving up its stock price as a form of fandom/social protest against the stereotypical investor class proved irresistible as a juicy media story.
By late March, it was back down to $120.34 per share and now, two years later, it sits at $17.11, or about on par with its pre-surge price. In the end, hedge funds made out a lot better financially than the would-be underdogs, which may or may not be the crux of “Dumb Money”s third act. Hollywood immediately pounced on the story, with Netflix greenlighting a movie from “Zero Dark Thirty” screenwriter Mark Boal as early as February of 2021.
The streaming giant would release a three-part documentary, “Eat the Rich,” about the saga in September of 2022. In October 2022, Sony beat out competitors for the film rights to Ben Mezrich’s book “The Antisocial Network.” Craig Gillespie (“I, Tanya”) will direct from a screenplay from Rebecca Angelo & Lauren Schuker Blum. “Dumb Money” will star Paul Dano, Seth Rogen, Sebastian Stan, Pete Davidson, Shailene Woodley, Dane DeHaan, Vincent D’Onofrio, Anthony Ramos, America Ferrera, Myah’la Herrold, Nick Offerman
