WEDDING CRASHERS (2005): Fathom Entertainment Will Be Re-Releasing Comedy Hit for its 20th Anniversary

Wedding Crashers To Play in Theaters This December

Wedding Crashers, a 2005 comedy hit, is being released back into theaters on December 4th and December 11th thanks to Warner Bros. and Fathom Entertainment.

When Wedding Crashers was released back in the summer of 2005, it reinvented the everyday romantic comedy with a new angle that succeeded many times over and proved the likability of the film’s stars, Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn. With a $40 million budget, the picture earned an “A-” CinemaScore grade and made $209 million at the domestic box-office. It earned an additional $79 million internationally as well.

Vince Vaughn and Owen WIlson played a lovable pair of guys who crashed weddings and then got a taste of their own medicine when they fell in love with a couple of kind-hearted women (played by Rachel McAdams and Isla Fisher). Christopher Walken even co-starred in the wacky romantic comedy that put a smile on the faces of audiences all across the country.

With Fathom Entertainment re-releasing Wedding Crashers on December 4th and December 11th, the opportunity has arisen for people who haven’t seen the goofball raunchy comedy to discover the movie on the big screen. There was some fun chemistry between Fisher and Vaughn in the movie which made the film a delight to watch while Wilson and McAdams shared some dramatic scenes together interspersed within the comic and romantic moments which the film was chock full of.

Vaughn and Wilson went on to star in a less financially successful, but equally entertaining, 2013 comedy called The Internship about eight years later. This pair of comic performers were great as a team in the two pictures with Wedding Crashers clearly being the better film out of the two. The Internship scored a “B+” CinemaScore, yet only made $44 million domestically and $48 million internationally which was a come-down from the 2005 picture’s grosses.

Wedding Crashers is just one of several successful wedding-themed pictures that were released in the not-too-distant past. There was My Best Friend’s Wedding, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, The Wedding Planner and Owen Wilson’s own Marry Me which was just released a few years back. That film showcased Wilson in a role where he played Jennifer Lopez’s love interest.

Wedding Crashers was an even bigger hit than superstar Julia Roberts’ My Best Friend’s Wedding at the domestic box-office. My Big Fat Greek Wedding did better than Wedding Crashers at the box-office, but Wedding Crashers most likely received many more laughs from audiences thanks to the wild and raunchy humor the 2005 movie highlighted. Fathom Entertainment and Warner Bros .have made the re-release of Wedding Crashers possible and it will feature 10-minutes of deleted scenes at the screenings.
