Robert Greenwald's controversial documentary,
Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism will be released in theaters Friday, August 6 in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington D.C. It will subsequently open in select cities across the country. The film is being distributed by
Cinema Libre Distribution, which is also distributing Greenwald's
Unconvered: The War in Iraq, opening in theaters August 20.
"Since its debut on home video more than two weeks ago,
Outfoxed has sold a significant number of units via the Internet while simultaneously creating noteworthy controversy among the media and public alike. Prior to its release on DVD, the Center For American Progress sponsored premieres and MoveOn.org organized 3700 house parties across the nation. The DVD has been listed as Amazon.com's bestseller for two weeks with over 145,000 hits on Yahoo!
"Philippe Diaz of Cinema Libre Distribution says, 'We've had the privilege of collaborating with Robert to break all the rules in distribution, by changing the order of traditional distribution practices, and working with grassroots organizations like MoveOn.org to create new forms of promotion which are not usually part of the movie world.'"
Outfoxed will open August 6 in New York at the Quad, in Washington D.C. at the Avalon, in Los Angeles at the Laemmle Fairfax and in San Francisco at the Roxie. In addition to
Outfoxed and
Uncovered, Cinema Libre Distribution will also be handling limited theatrical releases for Greenwald's "Un..." series, including
Unprecedented and
Unconstitiutional.
