This will be Nine’s first _pre 8:30pm “M” movie_ airing, following the government’s very recent amendment to the Broadcast Services Act. As revealed by Knoxy at TVT from a Nine source last week.

“The Fugitive” will air on Seven for the first time Friday week, a very long running Nine staple! @Zampakid.

You could see this coming after Seven got the WB deal (even though its taken a few years or so) and after they already aired sequel/spin off “US Marshals”

FTA premiere, distributed by Roadshow Films in Australia. Received critical acclaim when it was released in cinemas. Allison Janney won supporting actress awards at the Golden Globes, the BAFTAs and the Oscars; while Margot Robbie was nominated for best actress in all three but missed out, only winning best actress award at AACTA International Awards.

I notice that 9GO! will show animated movies Trolls and The Boss Baby during 2020. Nine must have acquired the rights to both titles from NBCUniversal, which bought Dreamworks Animation in 2016 and owns the rights to its back catalogue.

Why are networks of the view that the audience cares that a particular network is showing a movie for the first time? Let alone a 25 year old film?

I can understand pointing out FTA premieres to an extent but promoting a Library movie as being on your network for the first time - as though that’s something that should excite viewers - is rather arrogant.

Agreed. One of their worst (which is saying something as they’re usually the best at promos) especially those cast name graphics. And why include JM when’s she’s in the movie for 5min.

Moore is fourth in the credits. According to some stories on the internet her character originally had a bigger role but that storyline and her extra scenes were cut. Sela Ward who also has a minor role as Ford’s wife is third in the credits.
