"The Kid Stays in the Picture" on cable before DVD!?
I caught this movie on some cable channel several weeks ago. Can't remember the channel but I assume it was one of the HBOs. Today, I see the review for it on DVDFile under Sneek Peeks. I just assumed it had been on DVD for a while. Is this a first? A movie premiering on cable before DVD?

Same happened with The Believer (It went on cable before theaters because they thought it be too controversial)...

No, I'm pretty sure Citizen Kane was on TBS before it came out on DVD.

I saw this about a month ago on HBO also. I got a little confused because I had seen it on Netflix's "coming soon" section, but figured they must have worked out a deal with HBO.
Similar to the IFC airing BadAsssss Cinema before the DVD release. On a side note, I watched it today and loved it. This was a great docu. If you have any likes or interests in Blaxpoitation films I highly recommend it.
