'Breakfast Club' Returning to Theaters for 40th Anniversary

The rerelease includes special screenings and advance ticket sales as Universal Pictures marks the film's lasting influence on teen storytelling and pop culture.

  • Starting Aug. 16, Universal Pictures will rerelease The Breakfast Club in theaters nationwide on September 7th and 10th for its 40th anniversary, with advance tickets on sale.
  • Following its February 15th, 1985 debut, the film’s premise revolves around five students bonding during Saturday detention.
  • Shot for just $1 million in a shuttered Illinois high school, John Hughes emphasized character and improvisation, leading to authentic performances and making it the 13th highest-grossing movie of 1985.
  • Through Fandango, advance tickets are available now for the two-day engagement, arriving just in time for the back-to-school season.
  • It sparked the Brat Pack era and influenced decades of storytelling, and a year later, the Library of Congress selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry.
