Maybe they're having the premiere in France this early, since Scorsese will be in the "neighborhood". But how will the NY premiere be a world premiere then?

Thanks for the Wolf/Paris news , do you think this means that all the overseas premieres will happen before the US /Dec 7th premiere

[will]

Wouldn't that be nice for a change?
But no... I don't think so.
I think Scorsese might not want to be going back and forth over the Atlantic, so they're doing some European promotion while he's nearby.

Here is an account from the premiere:

Awkward Family Moments at the ‘Wolf’ Premiere


The real-life Jordan Belfort, the antihero of “The Wolf of Wall Street,” played in the film by Leonardo diCaprio, made an appearance at the Ziegfeld Theater premiere on Tuesday, along with his family. Rob Reiner, who plays his father, Max Belfort, met the real man for the first time. The resemblance is not uncanny: Mr. Reiner is large, Mr. Belfort is not. But “it was a kick for me,” said Mr. Reiner, tasked with characterizing the company overseer once known as Mad Max. “He said he used to scream just like that.”



The people behind the movie got to watch their real-life inspirations watch themselves portrayed by Hollywood stars for the first time. “I was able to look at his dad while he was watching the screen version of himself, and he was laughing his head off,’” said Terence Winter, the screenwriter. “And Jordan at the end of it, said, ‘oh my God, I’m sweating.’ He was sitting, watching it with his parents. I can’t imagine what that experience must be like.”


Mr. Winter had met with the Belfort clan as part of his research for the film adaptation of Jordan Belfort’s memoir. “Jordan wrote his version of what his dad was like — I was like, ‘What do you think? Is he right? Is that really you?’” he recalled asking the father. “He’s like, ‘Yeah, I guess it really is, if I’m being honest. It is me.’”



Mr. Winter worked hard not to judge the younger Belfort’s behavior as he rose from middle-class Queens striver to multimillionaire with an ill-gotten fortune and addictions to drugs and hookers. “I just wanted to very carefully lay out the circumstance of his life and let people decide what to make of him,” Mr. Winter said. “I think there will be people who want to be Jordan Belfort and people who want to string Jordan up from a lamp post.”



But though Mr. Belfort rose to ludicrous heights, Mr. Winter thought of his life as a relatable tale, especially for anybody with experience in finance.



“I think there’s a lot of, ‘there but for the grace of God,’” he said. “I was on Wall Street in 1987, the same day that stock market crashed. I was working at Merrill Lynch. Had I met Jordan a year earlier, I don’t know where I would’ve ended up. And I think a lot of people, given the same set of circumstances – you just don’t know.”



Having written a lot of violent scenes in his career at “The Sopranos” and “Boardwalk Empire,” Mr. Winter was not really daunted by the hardcore sex he had to describe in “Wolf.”



“It’s just a different set of adjectives,” he said.



But seeing it play on the big screen was something else. “It was very squirmy sitting next to my mother-in-law,” he said, “watching Leonardo DiCaprio blow cocaine,” well, let’s say up a woman’s rear.



“I was like, ‘oh God, this scene’s going on forever,’” he said. “I just write them, O.K.? I didn’t anticipate that moment in my life.”
