The Southern Premiere usually included any area south of Washington D.C. and east of Texas. Movies were rushed to Miami in order to catch New Yorkers on vacation or take advantage of celebrities in the area who could attend gala events.

“THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD” was advertised as a SOUTHERN WORLD PREMIERE which really makes you wonder where the SOUTHERN WORLD really starts.
