Mean Girls (2024) Release Date: Tina Fey’s Broadway adaptation of the 2004 comedy Mean Girls is making its leap from the stage to the big screen. The iconic comedy, which flipped the script for teen movies, particularly those geared toward female audiences, was initially penned by Fey just before the mid-2000s.
