”I don’t think that came to the screenings in droves, let me put it that way,” Pascal said. RSVPs for the first screening in October, as well as many others that Sony Pictures hosted around Los Angeles in recent weeks, were skewed about two to one in favor of women. Still, she doesn’t believe men gave the movie a shot. I don’t think it’s anything like a malicious rejection,” said producer Amy Pascal. The team behind the film hopes to reverse that by the time Oscar nomination voting opens on January 2. That trend may account for why the critically beloved adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel had an underwhelming showing in last week’s awards nominations. The audience was overwhelmingly comprised of women-and the voting memberships of various Hollywood awards ceremonies are obviously not. The first public screenings of Little Women were filled to capacity, but the distributors and awards-season strategists behind Greta Gerwig’s new film were worried nonetheless.
