If it's an HBO movie does that mean no box office? Ruthian23 Oct 11, 10:16

I dont thk so {nm} monsieurcinema Oct 11, 10:18

can we get a concrete answer? {nm} autobot66 Oct 11, 10:20

There isn't a concrete answer becuase the movie hasn't been made, and even then, producers could always change their mind up. {nm} Antibody Oct 11, 10:24

DL headline had been changed to say 'Michael Douglas And Matt Damon To Play Liberace & Scott Thorson In HBO Movie Directed By Steven Soderbe Oleg Max Oct 11, 10:34

It has been broken by the DL TV person & has a quote from the president of HBO programming though {nm} medusa Oct 11, 10:22

Hmm, DL took down the full press release that was originally posted. {nm} Antibody Oct 11, 10:33

The Wrap has the full release still up. Soderbergh's quote also praises HBO's ability to pull in viewers... that sounds more like TV too imo medusa Oct 11, 10:36

'Elephant' and 'American Splendor' are both theatrically released films distributed by HBO films in partnership with TWC through Newline. {nm} stevie1der328 Oct 11, 10:22

So there is precedent for HBO Films to release movies theatrically, unclear from the article if it applies to this one. {nm} stevie1der328 Oct 11, 10:22

LAT: “Behind the Candelabra,” the Liberace biopic starring Michael Douglas, will air on HBO. MisterTony Oct 11, 10:50

THR's article also refers to it as a "small screen" project. {nm} Ruthian23 Oct 11, 15:05
