Telefilms turn 20 as fall offerings grow stronger
Knight Ridder reports telemovies reach two decades of TV life since See How They Run aired in 1964. The format began with The Killers, featuring Ronald Reagan, and has since benefited from lower costs, with mid 1980s telemovies averaging about two million dollars versus theatrical films at roughly eleven and a half million. The piece notes economics as a key strength and hints at emerging gains in the last decade.
