NFL legend and seven-time Super Bowl champion, Tom Brady, is making headlines for two reasons. First, his announcement of retirement from the NFL —again— and second, his potential inclusion into the world of movies. With a career as long and relevant as his, it's no surprise that Brady's story would make for great movie material. Besides that, if you add four of the most seasoned comedy actresses in the business —Rita Moreno, Sally Field, Jane Fonda, and Lilly Tomlin— to the mix, the film's success doesn't come as a shock. Occupying the No. 2 spot behind Avatar: The Way of Water at the box office, the comedy 80 for Brady about four octogenarians who travel to see him play at the beginning of his career made $12.5 million in ticket sales on its first weekend. Brady's retirement might be sad news to his fans, but they can still look forward to seeing him on the big screen.
