HBO Films (formerly called HBO Premiere Films and HBO Pictures) is an American production and distribution company, a division of the cable television network HBO that produces feature films and miniseries. The division produces fiction and non-fiction works under HBO Documentary Films, primarily for distribution to their own customers, though recently the company has been funding theatrical releases.
HBO Films slates three or four films per year and develops most them internally[1] with theatrical films being distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.[2]
