Retitling "Little Women" So Men Will Go See It

posted by Jason Kottke Jan 14, 2020

The audience for Greta Gerwig's Little Women is running about 2/3 women and 1/3 men. Bruce Handy has some suggestions for a title change that would entice more men to check the movie out.

"Star Wars, Episode X: The Rise of Amy"
"Four Girls, One Teacup"
"Into the Marchverse"
"The Jo Supremacy"

I saw Little Women on New Year's Day and loved it — one of my favorite 2019 movies for sure. It's idiotic that Gerwig didn't get nominated for a Best Director Oscar.
