The Hollywood Reporter first disclosed that Netflix will distribute the film in theaters across the United States, setting the release for December. Later that day Variety unveiled an exclusive first‑look image featuring Guy Pearce portraying Murdoch, confirming his central role. The outlet also reiterated the December U.S. date and highlighted the film’s tabloid‑drama angle.
Digital Spy added that Jack O’Connell and Claire Foy join the cast, describing the project as an “explosive” real‑life drama and confirming a UK release timetable. Netflix’s own announcement echoed the December slot while promoting the film as a legend of Larry Lamb and Murdoch. While all outlets agree on a December theatrical window, the only variance lies in regional specifics: Variety and the Hollywood Reporter focus on the U.S. schedule, whereas Digital Spy references a UK timetable without naming the exact date.
No outlet disputes the December timeframe, leaving the release calendar unified across markets as of the latest reports.
