We reported back in February that Rupert Grint’s film, Foosball, would be released in the UK under the title The Unbeatables. Today, Variety reports that The Weinstein Co. has acquired rights in the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand and France.

They have renamed the film Underdogs and it will be released on August 27th worldwide. (August 8th in the UK.)

“Underdogs” centers on a reluctant hero whose town is threatened when his long-time rival returns home to avenge an old grudge. When the players from his foosball table are magically brought to life, he recruits them to help him enter into an underdog match to save the town and win back the love of his life.

“This film’s magical story, heart and humor, along with its top notch animation, truly resonated with us and is sure to captivate parents just as much as it will their children,” said Harvey Weinstein. “We’re incredibly excited to share it with audiences here in the US and around the world.”
