Mr. Irrelevant Scores Big with Near-Perfect Screenings Ahead of Holiday Release
Paramount and Skydance’s mid-budget sports drama Mr. Irrelevant, starring David Corenswet as John Tuggle, posted near-perfect test screenings—a perfect 100 score from women over 35, 95 from men over 35, and an overall 92—setting up a Christmas Day wide release. The true‑life story follows the final NFL draft pick who became a Giants Special Teams Player of the Year. As the first theatrical project under Skydance Sports’ NFL partnership, the film signals renewed interest in mid-budget sports dramas, though test scores don’t guarantee box office success against year‑end heavyweights.
