Although ‘The Return of the King’ has aired on 7TWO and 7Mate in 2010 and 2011:

Yep, it [The Return of the King] was Wednesday August 25 in 2010 on 7Two

Nine had rights on Friday December 21 in 2012

It actually last aired on Nine earlier this year on 9Go! on March 14 (but not the first two which last aired mid last year - reflective of losing rights to the first two earlier and gaining rights to the third one later).

Also, Seven’s classification is different tonight compared to when they last had rights. Tonight’s was “M: Some Violence” and previously it was “M: Stylised Violence & Supernatural Themes”. Which is unusual to see.

More movie premieres from 10 (!!)

This was a 10sec “next” promo during the last two ads of Frozen, but there was also a longer 20sec one during the week which was a combined promo for the first Fantastic Beasts movie which aired last night and tonight’s.

Am I the only one who thinks the old print looks better? More definition in the background, less washed out etc.

Disney hasn’t yet plastered the 20th Century Fox logo with the new 20th Century Studios.

For new movies, but do they need to do that for their existing 20C library? I hope they don’t and that’d take forever to do (considering also all the different rights/versions/platforms for every title).

10 Shake airing the reissued version of “A Nightmare Before Christmas” (1993), with the Walt Disney opener (using its opener theme) post 2006:

Original print with Touchstone Pictures opener (using theme music from the movie), this used to air on Seven:

NB/ Disney, in the early 90s, felt (being Tim Burton) it would be too ‘dark/scary’ for children, so decided to release the movie under one of their more adult banners. This movie also has voice work from Canadian actress Catherine O’Hara star from Schitts Creek, Home Alone (1 and 2) and before all this an earlier Tim Burton hit Beetlejuice.

MGM managed to do this when they purchased the United Artists studio from Transamerica in 1981. MGM immediately replaced the “United Artists - Entertainment from Transamerica Corporation” (with the Transamerica “T” logo) on all its films with a new UA logo.

Warner Bros also plastered original logos with newer ones: for example from 1973-84 “W” logo (now the logo for Warner Music which is no longer owned by the film studio) is plastered with the current CGI WB shield logo.

For sure, you see it a lot (my last post above yours RE: TNBC another example), but in 2020 to go back and cover-up every 20C Fox title and subsidiary from their early twentieth century beginnings to date would be a big task!
