FERRIS BUELLER’S DAY OFF Returns to Cinemas May 15th and 18th

“Hey, Cameron. You realize if we played by the rules right now we’d be in gym?”

Thirty years ago, Ronald Reagan was president, Tom Cruise was flying high in Top Gun, gas cost 92 cents a gallon, Radio Shack was beginning to market “mobile” phones …
… and Ferris Bueller took a day off of school.

Life moves pretty fast, and so does the opportunity to see John Hughes’ classic teen comedy Ferris Bueller’s Day Off on the silver screen!  Fathom Events and Turner Classic Movies are presenting the inimitable Ferris Bueller’s Day Off on more than 650 movie screens nationwide on Sunday, May 15, and Wednesday, May 18 only.

In the meantime, welcome back to 1986 … SAVE FERRIS!

Still as hilariously irresistible as the day it was released in 1986, FERRIS BUELLER’S DAY OFF returns to cinemas for two days only this May, just in time for its 30th anniversary.

Fathom Events and Turner Classic Movies (TCM) present John Hughes’ venerated comedy as part of the TCM Big Screen Classics series. Audiences can take the day off to join Ferris, Sloane and Cameron in more than 650 theaters nationwide for two screenings each day: 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. local time.

Adding even more fun to the 30th anniversary celebration, the event includes special interviews with John Hughes and other cast members about the movie, and TCM host Ben Mankiewicz will present all-new commentary forFERRIS BUELLER’S DAY OFF both before and after the feature.

Matthew Broderick stars as a delightfully charming high school student who, with his girlfriend Sloane (Mia Sara) and best bud Cameron (Alan Ruck), ditches school to enjoy one perfect day as a kid with no responsibilities. The beloved comedy about Ferris’ wild adventures in the Windy City during a single, glorious day off continues to be enjoyed, quoted and revered 30 years after its theatrical debut.

Tickets to TCM Big Screen Classics: FERRIS BUELLER’S DAY OFF can be purchased online from Fathom Events.
