"Mandy Lane" to get wide release in 2008

The on-again off-again saga of All the Boys Love Mandy Lane is apparently on again, and in a big wide way. As we reported just 2 days ago, the Weinstein Company and its arm Dimension Films had sold the North American theatrical distribution rights to German-based Senator Entertainment. This came just one week before the film's scheduled July 20 release.

Since Senator has never released a single film theatrically in the U.S., there was some speculation that the film would go straight-to-DVD -- Dimension retained the home video distribution rights.

But alas, there is good news yet for Mandy Lane fans. According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Sources inside the Weinstein Co. said there were differences of opinion between the studio and filmmakers on how wide to release the movie, with the company preferring a smaller rollout." The result? Senator will give All the Boys Love Mandy Lane a wide release, on 1,000-plus screens in early 2008.
