Question on upcoming World Premiere of bio-pic of White House "Butler"

posted at http://live.washingtonpost.com/ "Reliable Source" feature reporters and investigators: Will Oprah be a "plus" for opening of movie on White House "The Butler"? Has Washington DC hosted a world premiere of the new Lee Daniels movie? Is Ms. Winfrey the publicity media main figure? Thanks. _________________________ – July 31, 2013 10:15 A.M. _A_.Amy Argetsinger "The Butler" -- or as it is to be officially known, "Lee Daniels's The Butler," because of a complicated copyright dispute -- is set to open Aug. 16. It hasn't premiered anywhere yet: While you would assume there would be some splashy D.C. opening, we haven't gotten word of one yet, which is a little surprising. Wouldn't be suprised if the White House has a screening of its own, though. . . . Oprah will likely be a big part of the publicity campaign, but the movie is stocked with all kinds of big names for exactly that purpose. ‘The Butler’: A labor of love becomes an unlikely A-list production, 10/18/12
