In celebration of Britney Spears’ highly anticipated memoir, The Woman in Me, Crossroads returns to the big screen for a global fan event in movie theatres October 23 and October 25. The film was originally released in 2002. It will play for two nights only at 875 locations across 24 countries as part of a fan event by Trafalgar Releasing,

“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,” said Marc Allenby, CEO of Trafalgar Releasing.
With bonus features never-before seen in movie theatres, this cinematic celebration invites both newcomers and loyal fans to experience the magic of this coming-of-age story anew.
Written by Shonda Rhimes, directed by Tamra Davis and starring Britney Spears in her first feature role, Crossroads tells the story of three best friends – Lucy (Britney Spears), Kit (Zoë Saldana) and Mimi (Taryn Manning) – who get together and bury a box, making a pact to open it at midnight at their high school graduation.
In the small town in Georgia that they live in, things soon change. One is little miss perfect, one is an engaged prom queen, and the other is a pregnant outcast.
On the night of their graduation, they open the box, and they strike up a conversation. Suddenly, one brings up the topic of her going to Los Angeles for a record contract audition.
They all decide to go together, and they leave. With a little money, they set out on the road with a guy named Ben (Anson Mount).
When one of them tells the other a rumor that he might be homicidal, they are all scared of him.
When they reach Los Angeles, Lucy falls in love with Ben and against her father’s wishes, she stays, and she goes to the audition.
