FTA premiere. From Seven’s 20C Fox output.
It was a box office success and received mixed reviews.
Seven had the rights to “Grease” for as long as I can remember, from Paramount (though Nine will no doubt have SVOD rights through their new Stan deal). 80s, 90s, 2000s, 2010s. (Nine and/or 10 may have got rights once or twice in-between in some markets?)
Seven last aired it after the epic GWS vs Western Bulldogs AFL Prelim in 2016 (itsself the second highest rating non-Grand Final game in history).
Nine then aired it on the Aus Open Women’s Final night the next summer (January 2017). Nine last aired it on 9Gem in July last year. Must’ve only been licenced limited runs.
