This whole thing started with a mission: support female led films on opening weekend whenever possible.* If you want to read more about why, you can read that post here.
November is a big month in my life. It’s one full of family and history and often travel to spend time with said family and revel in our history. This year, I am looking forward to sitting around the table with my loved ones and telling them about the next big things in my life and celebrating the beautiful joys in theirs. But I’m also hoping to convince them to go out for Ladies Opening This Weekend, because Saorise Ronan, Drew Barrymore, Toni Collette and Jennifer Lawrence all take top billing in movies this month. Now that’s something to be thankful for.
