I thought Behind the Candelabra was a direct to HBO release.
Edit: yes, it was direct to HBO. So maybe Damon was just using it as an example because he knew the production cost off the top of his head.
- overfeed 5mo agoThis would be congruent with Damon's retelling of how a studio exec walked him through how the math of a traditional theatrical release wouldn't work out for the movie.
- glenngillen 4mo agoI guess another way to interpret what he was trying to say could also be: "the kind of movies that I loved and the kind of movies that were my bread and butter (are no longer affordable if I was to do a cinema release)" So maybe Behind the Candelabra was direct to HBO precisely because of the economics he was pointing out?
