According to Variety, today's debut of the movie Precious, based on the novel Push by Sapphire and Romona Lofton, opens today in only 18 theaters nationwide in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Atlanta. Variety reports that Lionsgate placed the movie in primarily African-American neighborhoods in those cities and also at art movie houses.  Executive producers Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry brought attention to a film that might otherwise have gone under the radar for many moviegoers.

Precious is about an abused, obese teenager in Harlem who is pregnant with her second child and how a teacher at an alternative school tries to pull her out of her situation. The movie has done well in film festivals around the country and even has some Oscar buzz surrounding it.

The Los Angeles Times reports that the film will open in more theaters across the country soon.
