The good news is that according to Nikki Finke Warner Brothers is going to spend $25 to $30 million in prints and advertising for The Women opening on September 12th. This clearly means more people will be able to see it. I am waiting with baiting breath for my screening invitation.
The bad news as I've mentioned before is that two other women centric films open that weekend -- Towelhead and The Duchess (see this post: September 12th Just Got Really Busy
The worse news is that it seems that Tyler Perry's newest movie The Family That Preys is also opening that weekend. I wouldn't care so much if the film didn't star Kathy Bates and Alfre Woodward as best friends whose families are falling apart. Film also co-stars Sanaa Lathan, KaDee Strickland and Taraji P. Henson.
This is just crazy.

September 12th Just Got Really Busy
Note to distributors and producers. It's hard enough for one female focused film to be successful but now there are three films targeted at women opening on September 12th. Sounds like trouble to me.
The busy September 12th now includes Towelhead, a coming of age story of an Arab-American girl sent to Houston to live with her restrictive father. Also, opening is The Duchess with Keira Knightley as the Duchess of Devonshire and the previously mentioned The Women written and directed by Diane English.
Will this glut prevent any of them from breaking out?
