The film that helped make Whitney Houston's rendition of "I Will Always Love You," a household hit, will be returning to the big screen.

For one night only, "The Bodyguard" will be re-released in theaters at the end of this month. NCM Fathom and Warner Bros. will bring the film to more than 500 movie theaters nationwide March 27.

Fathom claims the theatrical re-release has nothing to do with the singer's passing, it's simply to commemorate the film's 20th anniversary.

By amazing coincidence, Warner Bros. is releasing "The Bodyguard 20th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray" on March 27.

From iTunes to fan paraphernalia to auctions lots of people—including Dolly Parton!—are making big bucks off the singer's death.

Film screenings

For one night only, you can view Houston's Oscar-nominated "The Bodyguard" featuring Kevin Costner in theaters. The film will be shown at more than 500 theaters nationwide including 13 in N.J. 24 in N.Y. and over 80 in C.A. The '90s film follows a singer (Whitney Houston) plagued by a crazed fan-turned-stalker and her relationship with her bodyguard (Kevin Costner).

Check out a list of movie theaters showing the film, here.

One theater in New Jersey, the Digiplex Rialto Theater of Westfield, is a three-minute drive from the Fairview Cemetery in which Houston was buried. 



Bobby Brown

After being left out of the Will, Houston's ex-husband may pen a tell-all book, according to the Huffington Post

Brown formerly planned to release a book in 2008 about Houston; however, it was never published. 

Even if Brown did want to put out a book to earn some cash, he may be legally restricted since he signed a confidentiality agreement after his divorce. 



Royalties

One of Houston's biggest hits, "I Will Always Love You," was written by Dolly Parton. She'll continue to receive royalties on the song that she wrote.
