Britney Spears Expected To Profit From ‘Crossroads’ Theatrical Release

Pop star Britney Spears is expected to turn a major profit from her 2002 movie "Crossroads."

The coming-of-age film is heading back to theaters for a global fan event for only two nights next month to promote her highly anticipated memoir "The Woman In Me."

Fans have been worried that the Princess of Pop might not be compensated as “Crossroads” returns to theaters next month, but on Saturday, sources assured Page Six that the pop star will be making a profit and benefiting financially from the global fan event, which will also include a line of merchandise that includes shirts, jackets, and replica clothing items worn by the characters in the movie.

Insiders told the outlet that the “Toxic” singer will receive money from the “back end,” which means that she will receive an undisclosed percentage of the film’s overall profit. The terms of the agreement are reported to be confidential.

According to a press release, “Crossroads” will return to the big screen for a two-day-only fan event that will take place on October 23 and October 25. These dates are strategically timed around the release of her memoir on October 24. The new theatrical release promises “bonus features never before seen in movie theatres” that fans can look forward to.

The film tells the story of three best friends - Lucy (Britney Spears), Kit (Zoë Saldana), and Mimi (Taryn Manning) – who go on a road trip together and rediscover their friendship together after years apart. Tickets for the event go on sale on September 28 at 9 AM ET.

According to Variety, “Crossroads” will be played in 875 theaters across 24 countries. In a statement, Marc Allenby, CEO of Trafalgar Releasing, said, “We are excited to […] create an opportunity for fans to enjoy this highly sought-after film in cinemas, and to rally in support of Britney telling her story in her upcoming memoir release.”

Director Tamra Davis also praised the film’s re-release. “I recently rewatched ‘Crossroads’ and was so enthralled with the time capsule of nostalgia that this incredible ensemble cast brings to the screen,” she said in a statement.

“Britney is absolutely breathtaking to watch, and Shonda is showing us her early expertise in writing complicated female characters,” she continued. “We had the best time in the world making this picture and the connection the actresses bring to their performances shows in every frame. I’m so grateful that ‘Crossroads’ will be available so people can see Britney shine again.”

The "Gimme More" singer has not yet promoted "Crossroads" on social media, but she has been pretty busy promoting her upcoming memoir.

Only two days ago, the “Overprotected” singer took to social media to share a video of her book hot off the presses. In the caption, she wrote, “Putting the finishing touches on my book … eeeek !!!” Many fans were quick to express their excitement and assure her that they already have it preordered.

Although the highly anticipated memoir will feature a look back at some of her high-profile relationships, it will reportedly not include a look at her split from Sam Asghari, as the "Special Ops: Lioness" actor filed for divorce on August 16.
