This year the Brownlow doesn’t have a red carpet special, and will start early at 7pm, it should be over in around 2.5 hours.

“Man Of Steel” has its Seven premiere tonight, previously aired on Nine.

“Heist” (2001) from a few nights ago, with Roadshow add-on opener, a scene and ad break bumper
Probably the master from its original airing, I think it was January 2008 in prime time after the SCG cricket Test (even though that’s 6 years after its theatrical release - there were a number of movies around this time which premiered rather late).

Wonder if it’s their original master from over two decades ago or not?
edit
Ender (taken from the very end of the closing credits - in colour unlike the opening)
That last cap is at the end of Seven’s copy of “Sweet Home Alabama”, so early-mid 2000s, which was when Nine also got “Ransom”.
So Seven’s current version of Ransom must almost certainly be a new/latest copy (rather than digging up their original) from 20+ years ago)

Also - not listed by Seven as a premiere, but I’m pretty sure it is new - it was originally scheduled for July, but was swapped out.

A Star is Born was a box office success and also won numerous film awards plus four Grammy Awards, seems to be wasting a great movie against the NRL Grand Final.

Been wondering when this would premiere. Saw this at the cinemas, wasn’t going to pick this, but was very surprised, it was really good. It also received critical praise.

@TV.Cynic I think networks in recent years have missed a real opportunity with their re-negotiated output agreements to capitalise on them better and push harder to gain digital rights, as in vod, for 7Plus, 9Now, etc. Like what SBS On Demand have done.
Not just movies, but TV shows too. TV shows do appear on 7Plus, 9Now and 10 Play, but only eps that have very recently been broadcast on one of their channels and a short expiry - which is pretty disjointed and pathetic (e.g.) Modern Family, Seinfeld, NCIS.
You never see any titles from the big studios like Universal, Warners and Fox pop up on demand on these bvod platforms.
I understand there’d be even more of a fee attached to what is already apparently unsustainably expensive deals, plus Netflix, Stan, Disney+, etc have probably locked-away a lot of such vod content.
But as it stands, as you pointed out recently with particular respect to movies, a lot of them that have aired on FTA, certainly main channel and especially premieres, just don’t seem to be cutting it and bleeding the networks’ costly investments into these Hollywood mega companies.
Wouldn’t be surprised once current agreements lapse soon if Seven and/or Nine follow 10’s lead and ditch these very expensive lock-in outputs.
NB/ A lot of SBS On Demand’s titles are from Paramount and you do see the odd one pop-up on 7Plus but they’ve been from less major distributors such as Canal+ and Lionsgate (e.g.) Robin Hood, which is still there and in 7Plus’ latest SAS themed promo.

I recorded it and am looking forward to it.
I’d expect Seven to encore it very soon, maybe more than once.

Some lovely tunes, the harmony together was so special, so so surprising, Lady Gaga’s debut stole the show for mine
