National Champions 2021
National Champions is a 2021 American sports drama film directed by Ric Roman Waugh, adapted from a play of the same name by Adam Mervis. Starring Stephan James, J. K. Simmons, Alexander Ludwig, Lil Rel Howery, Tim Blake Nelson, Andrew Bachelor, Jeffrey Donovan, David Koechner, Kristin Chenoweth, Timothy Olyphant, and Uzo Aduba, the film premiered in the United States on December 10, 2021 through STX Entertainment. Critics responded with generally mixed reviews, and the movie failed to earn significant box office returns, collecting under $500,000 in revenue while costing $8 million to produce. This release marked STX's final film before the company restructured its operations and shifted to a distribution agreement with Lionsgate.
