Movies on TV

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.

From Paramount Pictures, starring Dwayne Johnson and Zac Efron. Based on the TV show which is currently screening on 9GO! Did OK at the box office.

Terrible movie IMO.

FTA premiere, from Seven’s deal with 20th Century Fox. Did very well at the box office. The song This is Me won a Golden Globe award and is frequently used in various TV performances.

@Sully is going to be out of a job shortly.

But not initially, a sleeper hit. Word of mouth and that bloody song!

This is embarrassing for Seven…


Hope it is an isolated problem and the movie gets a smooth broadcast in WA later tonight. Additionally it should get a re-run on 7mate soon without any hitch.
EDIT: turn out the same problem occurred in Perth, based on comments posted on TV Tonight.

Good find! Had wondered this myself, I’d been able to trace back to at least 2006 from a TV guide.

This is of course an extremely rare occurrence, as Seven had the Buena Vista TV (Disney) output. Nine must’ve purchased this title one-off for a handsome price, there are some other examples, “Twister” being another (Nine first had rights even though 10 had the NBC-U output, before it went to 10 in the mid-2000s).

I’d also like to acknowledge @Zampakid’s tireless work (but obviously one he absolutely loves doing) in trawling through countless VHS recordings, etc, one after the other and uploading YouTube videos and images for historical and interest sake. Seems to go to quite the effort to obtain them too. :slight_smile:

21 nights of Bond coming to 9Gem

“Before the new Bond movie No Time To Die hits cinemas…”

Looks like Nine renegotiated their MGM deal, as rights to Bond (certainly some such as “Casino Royale”) definitely expired in June last year. Unless they’re not airing all of them, but surely they would, probably some nights will have two.

It will start this Sunday night (March 15) with Dr No, with at least one title each night.
Nine is continuing with the campaign even though cinema release of No Time to Die has been pushed back to November.

7mate have returned an old tag line/graphic “Double Feature Sundays”, with Clash of the Titans and Wrath of the Titans.

Hilarious V/O Duncan Fellows then goes “…but it’s actually 3 movies… Because we can’t count! Double Feature Sundays (now with 3 movies)” LOL :joy:

(Also includes late night movie - which is rarely promoted - Exodus Gods and Kings “and for the first time on mate”. Previously aired on 10. From the 20C Fox output).
