Nate Bargatze reveals family-focused vision behind $350M Nashville theme park ahead of his first movie release

He said the $350 million amusement park project, eponymously named "Nateland," was inspired by his first job at the since-closed Opryland USA theme park in Nashville.

"If I was going to just focus on arenas or that kind of thing, it felt like it was going be too much me... I wanted to focus on a place that I could have for people to bring their families to, and destinations to create memories with your families. I don't think there's a ton of that," he said.

The same ethos inspired "The Breadwinner," said Bargatze. He wanted a film the whole family could see together.

The movie follows Bargatze's character, Nate Wilcox, a father whose wife replaces him as the family breadwinner after landing a huge deal on "Shark Tank." Suddenly, he finds himself a stay-at-home dad charged with caring for his three young daughters full-time.

In the interest of fun for the whole family, the comic is offering the "Nate rate" on tickets to his first feature.

"I talked to all the theaters, and we have a Nate rate discount for everybody… special pricing, lower prices. Just because everything's expensive, and we want everybody to come out," he said.
