The Breakfast Club Rerelease Date Set for 40th Anniversary

Universal Pictures has announced The Breakfast Club rerelease dates for the upcoming limited screenings of John Hughes’ classic coming-of-age dramedy. The 1985 movie remains as one of the most influential teen movies of all time, with a Certified Fresh rating of 87% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Set at a suburban Chicago high school, the film follows five students from vastly different cliques who arrive for a Saturday detention and discover that the labels assigned to them do not define who they are,” reads the official synopsis. “Over the course of one day, Claire the princess, Andrew the athlete, Brian the brain, Allison the basket case and John the criminal break through their social barriers and reveal the private struggles beneath their public identities. Under the wary eye of Vice Principal Vernon —and the side-eye observations of custodian Carl—they begin as strangers and leave with a deeper understanding of themselves and each other.”

We’re honored to bring it back to theaters so that a new generation can experience its power on the big screen.”
