Movies on TV

Seven appear to have struck a digital movie licence (first for CFTA ever?)

“John Wick 2” (2017) is on 7Plus, after last night’s broadcast FTA premiere.

Wonder when it expires? More importantly will it have ads

With Spider-Man: Homecoming airing tomorrow, that’s another title to Nine’s growing collection of Spider-Man movies. IIRC every movie since Spider-Man (2002) had its FTA premiere on Nine.

Something strange… 7flix will be airing the movie “The Wild” (2006) from Walt Disney Friday week. It is listed as a “premiere” and a quick scan of historical guides suggests it’s never aired on FTA before?

Have Seven been sitting on this for many years? We know they no longer have an output with Disney (Nine now have a deal) and haven’t aired a FTA premiere from them in many months*

*except some B-grade movie called “Skiptrace” earlier this week.

Is it just me or do I think Disney are investing into the Australian media market a bit too much? Years after launching their own cable movie channel with Foxtel, they’ve signed a deal with Stan and told them to over advertise it, airing Disney and Disney-owned flicks on Nine really often, and what’s next before launching Disney+ proper? Maybe a 15-part Movie Collection set will be sold through News Corp papers, but we’ll see…

How do you know Disney told Stan to “over advertise”?

Wow, you need to stop over-thinking everything…

lmfao, yeah cause they were totally not going to make it known that you could find Disney content on their platform! Disney / Marvel is HUGE. So many people practically worship their content, so yes media businesses are going to make a big deal out of it!

Aren’t you really asking if Nine is investing into Disney content too much?

Darn it Bort, stop springing people all the time :wink: I’ll cop that.

Though with the caps ones, I was adding context (i.e.) graphics in the cap say or suggest the same.

I still reckon in the nature of a television promo it isn’t really necessary. But may be of historical interest/value to this thread.

“Kingdom of Heaven” (2005) returns to Seven

NB/ FTA premiere was on Seven on Sunday 16 September 2007 under their old 20C Fox output (which had just expired to 10, who ended up airing it a few years later).

Seems an odd fit for 7mates audience.

It’s for ratings strategy. It’s designed for the main channel (Sydney, Brisbane and Perth) but because of AFL in Melvourne and Adelaide the Friday and Saturday night movies are always on 7mate (no matter the movie).

That way, a 5 city number can still be produced.
