Nate Bargatze's Movie Aims for Affordable Family Fun

Nate Bargatze, a globally recognized comedian, is set to release his family movie, The Breadwinner, in theaters on May 29. This project marks a significant step in his career since he hosted the Emmy Awards.

Co-written by Bargatze and directed by Eric Appel, the film stars Bargatze as Nate Wilcox, a salesman who must manage his household when his wife's invention leads to a deal on "Shark Tank." The movie explores his journey of learning to manage family life in his own unique way.

Bargatze is actively promoting a "Nate Rate" for The Breadwinner, expressing his desire for affordable ticket prices to encourage widespread attendance. He hopes cinemas will offer discounted rates similar to those for "80 for Brady."

In response to Bargatze's initiative, major theater chains like AMC Theatres are reportedly agreeing to matinee pricing for the film. Cinemark is also considering discounts of up to 25 percent, though specific pricing will vary by location.

TriStar Pictures president Nicole Brown highlighted the film's authentic appeal, noting Bargatze's vision for a movie families could watch together, filling a gap for live-action family films.
