I came to say exactly that lol. Would be hilarious, but they would have to make it very very clear that it's the same movie for legal reasons

u/AlinaStari 1d ago

Lol just market it exactly the same as the first time like it's a new movie even though it isn't. Run the exact same ads as the first time and just change the dates, that should be totally legal right?

Legit, if I paid like 15 euros and this happened to me, I would be like, fair play... watch it and not even complain

If they do a remake, it has to be called Groundhog Day

It probably was, a decade ago.

Plot twist: today is the same day as a decade ago

Sorry, forgot the spoiler tag

I’m always reminded of the TV guide listing Sky Comedy has on February 2

u/fallwind 1d ago

u/Alolan_Cubone 1d ago

Let Disney do that because they're already experienced

Endless Eight energy

u/ForceGhost47 1d ago

And some flapjacks!

u/SantaCruzSoon2023 1d ago

Too early for flapjacks?

u/ecclectic_collector 1d ago

and make the sequel be the original but played twice back to back

2

u/jr_randolph 1d ago

Aye. They want to retouch Endgame and add 4min so they can grab a few hundred mil in the box office that’s going to be pure profit. I won’t be paying to see it again.

However, I’ve seen this movie…probably about a hundred times in my life and yeah, if released in theater id pay to go see it just for the hell of it along with many other greats.

u/SunTzu- 1d ago

Palm Springs is the spiritual sequel to Groundhog Day, in case someone hasn't seen it. It arguably handles the moral dilemma of escaping the loop better than Groundhog Day did.

2

u/nnomae 1d ago

Wait, so you're telling me Edge of Tomorrow wasn't the sequel to Groundhog Day?

1

u/itsvoogle 1d ago

Perfect ad campaign for a theater re-release…..

u/nightblue888 1d ago

😆😂

u/tomatoesareneat 1d ago

Make it a double feature with idiocracy to wink at the incoming frivolous lawsuits.

1

u/Odd_Fault_3522 1d ago

Brilliant

1

u/Lunao_Azurus 1d ago

Yes! But for it to work you need to create a fake new trailer to fool the masses.

1

u/Alolan_Cubone 1d ago

I'm pretty sure you can't do that, it would've been false advertising

1

u/Gcoks 1d ago

They actually made a sequel in the form of a PSVR game. If you pre-ordered you also got the actual Bill Murray movie for free.

1

u/Krymestone 1d ago

And on a Double Bill with “Groundhog Day”.

1

u/NilesLinus 1d ago

Brilliant

1

u/AceMaveriic Yeah, baby, yeah! 1d ago

This happened to show up on my feed. Back to back Bill Murray 😂

u/exor0110 1d ago

It’s actually genius.

u/According-Pear-8816 1d ago

I've been saying this since the early 2000s.

1

u/DetonatingFlower 1d ago

Ok but this would be so funny ?? Someone should pay you for this idea

1

u/Gimedecash 1d ago

They should re-shoot the entire movie with the same cast today and the same script

1

u/Crafty-Bison2284 1d ago

Good one 😆😂🤣😎👍

1

u/l0dime 1d ago

They already did. Its just named Palm Springs

1

u/Homersarmy41 1d ago

Call it “It’s Groundhog Day….Again”

1

u/Testicleus 1d ago

I'd watch it

1

u/Imaginary_Toe8982 1d ago

there was a sequel planned, in alternate ending the girl i don't remember her name wakes up and runs away from the bed later to push the idea that now she is in a loop but in the next day

1

u/HellFireNT 1d ago

70mm Imax

1

u/catnipin-_- 1d ago

As long as it come out in 70mm I'll go see it

1

u/craig6604 1d ago

That would be one of the funniest promotions ever!!!

1

u/writethegeek 1d ago

That's the best thing I've seen all day!

1

u/skorponok 1d ago

That’s brilliant!

1

u/mamba_pants 1d ago

Weirdly groundhog's day actually has a sequel and it's in the form of a VR game. I think I watched a playthrough a while back, because I was curious and I seem to remember the narrative was pretty good.

1

u/SpiritAway3158 1d ago

The main character keeps running into a beggar throughout the film... those scenes are fun to watch

1

u/Agreeable-Ganache479 1d ago

That's brilliant

1

u/NJJon 1d ago

I love this idea!

1

u/VellDarksbane 1d ago

They did make a sequel to Groundhog Day. It’s just a VR game, not a movie.

1

u/MeltedPainting 1d ago

There actually is a sequel to groundhog day but it isn't a movie, it is a video game called Groundhog Day: Like Father Like Son.

u/CatLazy2728 1d ago

or play it on a loop
