St. Louis Wins “The Other Guys” Premiere With Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg!

The votes have been calculated, and the results are in!  St. Louis has won the “Other Premiere” featuring Will Farrell and Mark Wahlberg this Thursday!

If you haven’t heard about the contest, read the article here.

Early last month, it was announced that St. Louis would be 1 of 20 candidate cities that would participate in the contest.  The winner would win a hometown premiere of Farrell and Wahlberg’s new film, “The Other Guys” which would bring both starts with it.  It was announced only minutes ago on Entertainment Tonight that St. Louis has beat out the other 19 cities (including Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Kansas City, Miami, Minneapolis, Nashville, New Orleans, Orlando, Philadelphia, Seattle, Tampa/St. Petersburg, and Washington, DC).
 

Here is what the stars have to say:

Thank you to everyone who voted! This is the second time in one month that St. Louis has won a movie premiere with the stars of the movies, with Zac Efron coming to town only a couple weeks ago to promote “Charlie St. Cloud.”

See video and photos from the “Charlie St. Clouid” St. Louis premiere.

Don’t forget! “The Other Guys” opens this Friday, August 6!

  • I want details about the "red carpet". My kids and I want to go see Will Ferrell. Don't need tickets, just want to stand outside and see the stars. Please post any details you learn about what kind of setup Galaxy will have for fans. Thanks.
