A new movie about the GameStop meme stock craze in 2021 known as Dumb Money has reportedly lined up a massive A-list cast comprised of actors from Marvel, The Batman, and other huge projects. For those who somehow missed it, at the start of 2021, GameStop’s stock was trading at relatively normal levels following the release of the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, it was around $20 – $30, with the occasional big spike that caught some attention. However, at the end of January 2021, the stock jumped into the hundreds of dollars almost over night, reaching over $350 per share. A lot of people got extremely rich off of this and it even caused other stocks, dubbed “meme stocks”, to skyrocket as well. The movement in the stock was largely driven by Reddit users and although the stock became exceptionally volatile, even borderline cratering a few times, it became one of the biggest stories of the year.
