Win Tickets to the Canadian Premiere of 'Southpaw' with Jake Gyllenhaal and Rachel McAdams in Attendance! (CONTEST CLOSED)

Put up your mitts and get ready for the red carpet! eOne Films is hosting the Canadian premiere of Southpaw, the hotly anticipated new drama starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Rachel McAdams. Both stars will be in Toronto for the Canadian premiere on July 9 before the film opens theatrically on July 25 from eOne Films, and if you want a chance to attend the premiere with the stars, you are in luck! Answer the trivia below to win tickets! (There will be a fan pit, but please check your boxing gloves at the door.)

Synopsis: From acclaimed director Antoine Fuqua (TRAINING DAY) and starring Academy Award® nominated Jake Gyllenhaal (NIGHTCRAWLER, BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN) comes a story of tragedy, loss and the painful road to redemption… Billy “The Great” Hope (Gyllenhaal) is the reigning Junior Middleweight Champion whose unorthodox stance, the so-called “Southpaw,” consists of an ineloquent, though brutal, display of offensive fighting…one fueled by his own feelings of inadequacy and a desperate need for love, money and fame. With a beautiful family, home and financial security, Billy is on top both in and out of the ring until a tragic accident leaves his wife dead and sends him into a downward spiral. His days now an endless haze of alcohol and prescription drugs, his daughter taken by Child Services and his home repossessed by the bank, Billy’s fate is all but sealed until a washed up former boxer named Tick agrees to take the bereaved pugilist under his wing so long as he agrees to his strict ethos. Relentless and utterly committed to a fighter that thinks as much as he throws punches, Tick rebuilds Billy into a new man: one that is agile, fearsome and uncompromising in the ring while thoughtful, loving and disciplined outside of it. Now, as he works to regain custody of his daughter and mounts a professional comeback, Billy must face his demons head-on as he learns that, sometimes, your greatest opponent can be yourself.

Starring: Jake Gyllenhaal, Rachel McAdams, Forest Whitaker, Naomie Harris, 50 Cent
