Ron Howard’s “Thirteen Lives” has had such uniformly positive test-screening reactions that MGM has decided to release the film right at the thick of this year’s awards season schedule.
Howard’s film, supposedly, received the best test scores in MGM history — earning a 97 in the top two boxes and an 86 “definite recommend”. It was originally set for release on April 15th but is now scheduled for a November 18th date.
The film, which stars Colin Farrell, Viggo Mortensen, and Joel Edgerton, is based on the true story of a rescue mission in Thailand, where a group of young boys and their soccer coach were trapped in a flooding maze-like underground cave.
