Overview
- Producers announced on Friday, May 22, 2026, that a new trailer for Ueck will debut in Marcus Theaters this weekend and that the film will open in Marcus venues across Wisconsin on Friday, July 24.
- The feature premiered in April at the Milwaukee Film Festival, where it sold out two opening-night screenings faster than any film in the festival’s 18-year history.
- Filming began in spring training 2023 and includes interviews plus behind-the-scenes broadcast-booth footage that directors used to shape the film’s intimate, career-spanning portrait.
- The project had an earlier 20-minute preview shown at American Family Field on Opening Day, and directors say Uecker cooperated on the film in part to leave a lasting gift for fans after his January 2025 death.
- The initial Marcus Theaters rollout focuses the release where Uecker’s audience is strongest and could drive extended local runs or additional screenings, so viewers should watch for theater listings and showtimes ahead of the July 24 opening.
