Bill Murray Day

Tomorrow — September 5 — is Bill Murray Day! Leading up to the world premiere of Murray's latest film, St. Vincent , we'll pay tribute to the man throughout the day with a triple (ahem) bill of free comedy classics: Stripes, Groundhog Day, and Ghostbusters. You never know who may show up for a post-screening Q&A.

Tickets to the three daytime screenings will be available tomorrow as of 8am at the TIFF Bell Lightbox Box Office.

Plus, we have two very special contests running for tickets to the world premiere of St. Vincent:

Ultimate Fan Contest! Starting at 6pm at the TIFF Bell Lightbox Box Office, the first 40 Bill Murray fans to show ticket stubs to all three Bill Murray Day screenings will receive a ticket to the St. Vincent premiere.

Costume Contest! Prior to each screening we'll call up to the stage anyone dressed as a Bill Murray character and ask the audience to applaud for each of them. The top three audience picks will each win a ticket to the St. Vincent premiere.

L'Oreal Paris Lounge: please change 4pm to pm and use en dashes on ranges Available from 4pm—10pm on weekdays, and 10am—10pm on weekends!
