After Near-Perfect Test Scores, David Corenswet’s ‘Mr. Irrelevant’ Becomes Very Relevant to Paramount (Exclusive)
Sports dramas have been largely absent from multiplexes in recent years, but Paramount’s upcoming film Mr. Irrelevant is poised to change that. The movie, starring David Corenswet, has earned a rare perfect 100 score in test screenings among women over 35, with an overall score of 92. These exceptional results have secured the film a coveted holiday release date.
Directed by a yet-unnamed filmmaker, the story follows a late-round NFL draft pick—traditionally called “Mr. Irrelevant”—who defies expectations. The strong test scores suggest the film resonates deeply with a key demographic, potentially signaling a broader audience appetite for sports movies.
Key highlights from the exclusive report include:
- Perfect score: 100 among women over 35, a demographic often critical for box office success.
- Strong overall: 92 composite score from all test audiences.
- Holiday release: Paramount has moved the film to a prime seasonal slot, indicating high confidence.
With Corenswet’s rising star power and these near-perfect metrics, the question now is whether audiences are ready for a sports movie comeback. Early indicators suggest yes, as Mr. Irrelevant aims to become very relevant indeed.
