Movies on TV

The point being made is that Seven isn’t running them opportunistically as you suggested, they are running them because Roadshow has paid them to. Doesn’t matter who holds the rights or where they came from, it’s a sponsored run designed the drum up interest in the new movie.

@eddel @MBB
It’s weird then how such said situation was never done earlier this year by Disney Australia “Incredibles 2” (one of the biggest films this year over $1.2b and one of most critically praised).

As Seven have Disney TV rights.

As in the original “The Incredibles” from 2004 never ran on any FTA channel and hasn’t done for a few years now.

Which gets back to what I was indicating, unless a network has the film licence/runs (which Seven clearly don’t anymore for that film - they surely would’ve aired it!) then these “sponsorship” deals can’t happen.
