I swear this was on TV a couple of weeks ago!

It was also shown on Nine from 1998-2005(?) when it used to be released by Roadshow until it was moved to 20C Fox distribution…

Sully · October 17, 2018, 7:37am

I had forgotten that (not sure if I even knew/remember that actually).

Also just remember (you probably already deduced this anyway) theatrical distribution is often very different to tv distribution, etc. A good way to find out, is often the home entertainment (DVDs, etc) is the same distributor as TV, digital (YouTube, iTunes), etc.

Die Hard 2 tonight on 7mate had a modern 20C Fox fanfare logo at the start, which is modified from the original theatrical release, VHS and possibly initial DVD.

Like Zampakid’s Lethal Weapon 4 example with Warner Bros (networks platering modern standardised logos on latest copies provided to TV), I am confident (but not 100%) that Die Hard from Monday on 7mate was Seven’s original copy from back in the day, whereas tonight’s sequel is a new copy.

Based on the logo differentiation.

According to Wikipedia, there was a change in producers (Andy Vajna replaced Joel Silver and Larry Gordon who produced Die Hard 2), therefore Vajna’s company Cinergi obtained international distribution rights while 20th Century Fox got the US domestic rights. Cinergi chose Roadshow as the Australian distributor at that time.
Cinergi closed in 1998 after a series of box office flops and 20CF bought the international rights to Die Hard with a Vengeance.

Tonight’s X-Men: First Class had no 20th Century Fox logo fanfare at all. It is only 25 seconds.

David · October 19, 2018, 10:20am

Why are they showing the X-Men movies so out of order?

Sully · October 19, 2018, 10:28am

Johnson: Seven 75% of the time remove opening credits from movies as well, I guess a strange attempt to stop viewers from changing channels? (i.e.) jump straight into first scene. Done it for a long time.

David: Seven did the same during Winter Olympics when they aired on 7mate after Feed 2 concluded each night, weird order!

JohnsonTV · October 19, 2018, 10:30am

Maybe Seven is showing the X-Men movies in order, the first movie being First Class. Check out this article.

Sully · October 21, 2018, 11:45am

Ten airing a Warner Bros distributed movie next Sunday, a rare occurance! Have seen the odd one or two, now that networks are doing ‘cherry pick’ (rather than, in this case, Nine having all the rights), but still, seeing as Seven seem to have secured most rights.

“Something to Talk About” on Eleven.

(I’m sure @Zampakid will have 100 captures of this in his files somewhere, especially being one that Nine would’ve premiered

TV.Cynic · October 22, 2018, 4:14am

Of passing interest Pitch Perfect to be shown on Seven 25 October, then Pitch Perfect 2 on Nine the following week 3 November.

Sully · October 22, 2018, 7:22am

Seven must be losing rights to the first one soon, surely (old NBCU deal)? Then Nine can hopefully get it, so there’s consistency.

Not sure if both networks have aired them close together before? Certain film franchises where rights are split they have before though.

So I saw Sully is on tonight, didn’t realise MediaSpys own movie fan was starring in a movie

Sully · October 22, 2018, 9:24am

Pumped. Got the shiraz🍷 on the ready, popcorn ready to pop, pop, pop and on the edge of the couch for Mr Hanks (AKA Sullenberger) as I type

PS bacco: this has been brought up in other threads by other members the past week already, a bit slow there my friend.

TV.Cynic · October 26, 2018, 2:45am

Follows of movies on TV - 9Go! next Saturday 3 November has replaced Hairspray with Jupiter Ascending.

littlegezzybear · October 26, 2018, 4:32am

Looking forward to the intricate explanation from @Sully why this has happened.

Sully · October 26, 2018, 5:21am

Would’ve thought Hairpsray is a much better and more popular movie? Definitely a more modern, family flick.
