Facebook will host its first paid film premiere later this month: “The Outsider,” a documentary about the challenges and controversies involved in building the National 9/11 Memorial and Museum in lower Manhattan, will screen exclusively on the platform on Aug. 19.
But for now, the one-off screening of “The Outsider” — to be available on Facebook for just 12 hours — doesn’t herald the social giant as a major new player in the entertainment industry’s streaming wars.
Abramorama, the indie film distributor that bought global distribution rights to the film, announced details of the Facebook screening on Monday.
The exclusive Facebook premiere of “The Outsider” will be available to screen globally, available at this link, starting Aug. 19 at 8 p.m. Et until Aug. 20 at 8 a.m. Et. Tickets are $3.99 and include access to a panel discussion that will follow the film’s premiere.
Following the Facebook livestreaming premiere on Aug. 19, “The Outsider” will launch nationwide on Aug.
