The Wolf of Wall Street was released on Dec 25, 2013 in the USA. Now, it's being announced as a "sneak preview" release in Bangkok today (Jan 23), ahead of a wider release on Jan 30. In real-world terms, this "sneak preview" thing is a load of marketing bullshit that's short for "one show time per day." Other than that, these "sneak previews" are open to the public and playing at all major cinemas in Bangkok.
