The network made the announcement and stated that it will begin airing the film in 2017.

Sheri Salata the Own’s other Co-President says, ” This is a film that every American should see and we look forward to its debut on“.

I agree the movie was amazing. I sat in the theater and felt all kinds of emotions. I am happy that OWN got the rights to the film and that it will be on replay for the world to see again and again and again.

Lee Daniel’s The Butler spent three weeks at number one at the box office and has earned over $100 million.
