Makes sense.


It's probably due to a lack of interest from theaters.
Yes, no way enough people in England would be interested in the ins and outs of American football. Same is true here- there are a lot of good futbol movies that were probably never released in the US- Damned United and Fever Pitch were good films

I saw the preview... they lost me at Dennis Leary saying "in Dallas we are used to winning"... I don't like high fantasy.

It wouldnt be a popular film over here but i was hoping that with the NFL being behind the film they would have asked for a small release in some theatres in major cities.I was hoping i would get to see it in London or a NFL backed screening.

Honestly. I don't see the NFL limiting the distribution intentionally. Not considering how much they are considering putting a team there. The movie would serve as a small gage.

Don't always agree with Vinnie Iyer, but this is a good read of fact vs fiction...

"Draft Day": The commissioner is cheered when he opens the draft.
The NFL: The commissioner is jeered when he opens the draft.


Thanks in big part to snarky New York Jets fans, it’s a tradition unlike any other for Roger Goodell to get booed in the Big Apple. Per the filmmakers, the Bronx cheer for Goodell would have been confusing for international audiences while the movie builds up to “Draft Day” as a momentous climax.

Doubt the draft would ever come to New Orleans with Goodell as commissioner...

Draft Day (Movie)
 
I haven't heard it called a documentary yet.

Surprised Lyer didn't point out that the Cap Manager for Cleveland isn't actually pregnant.

Just saw the movie......a little predictable but it was one of the better sports movies I've seen in a long long time. Highly recommend everyone to go see it.
