As one might expect, Paramount’s “80 for Brady” is doing well where NFL legend Tom Brady has legions of fans. On the flip side, it isn’t selling many tickets in Atlanta, where the film is probably a reminder of the city’s most bitter recent sports defeats.
“80 for Brady” stars Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Sally Field and Rita Moreno as a quartet of elderly New England Patriots fans who decide to travel to Houston in 2017 to watch Brady and their beloved team play against the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI.
In that Super Bowl, the fifth of Brady’s seven championship triumphs, the Patriots were down 28-3 midway through the third quarter.
