“Storm Boy” (2019) FTA premiere
Another one-off deal from Sony (and will no doubt include digital rights for 7Plus as with their recent Sony premieres).
Also an extremely rare advanced promo for the Saturday later movie, they always usually just have a couple of short “next” promos on the night. Can’t say I’ve seen one, at least on Seven before, when there’s two Saturday movies, possibly not since before multi-channels the 2000s. Probably one was made because it’s both a premiere and an Australian movie.
This is from Perth market, a 7mate version aired tonight in Melbourne too.
The Wolf of Wall Street airing on Nine for the last time (at least for a while) tonight, as 10 have acquired the rights (saw it in one of Cynic’s advanced guides posted). Licenced by Roadshow.
As seen on 9Go! tonight:
I wonder if 10 will use this same version, this disclaimer is used on TV in the US, a rarity here (it’s an R18+ movie unedited - so extremely graphic).
Also, while I’m at it, Nine breached the ACMA Code tonight, by failing to broadcast a proper “prominent and legible MA15+ classification warning with consumer advice” as required (only a tiny bug aired - as seen upon return from ad breaks). Play-out error? Wonder if Nine’s cyber incident is to blame?

Someone has to complain though.

NPC is in charge of Channel Nine’s Playout and wasn’t affected by the Cyber Attack.
Yes, but clearly not all elements of Nine’s presentation. Still having issues, as other members have also pointed out.

My post from last week which I just linked in another thread made me realise, Wolf of Wall Street never aired on 10 on Sunday night. Most likely because they saw Nine aired it on 9Go! mid-week. And no doubt Nine programmed it as a final run or whatever when they saw 10’s advanced schedule, tactic worked (I don’t believe in coincidences this this 
)
10 socials didn’t get the memo.

Whoops!
I mean, it could’ve been a late change or maybe 10’s socials are scheduled days/a week in advance. I’m sure 10 will re-schedule it soon, maybe even within the next week or two (as a sort of ‘encore’ even though it was on a different network - as we see all networks air the same movie again within a week just on a different channel and timeslot).

In a strange bit of programming, Seven currently in Melbourne have the same movie scheduled in essentially the same timeslot! “Payback” (1997) Saturday week on the main channel at 10:30pm after AFL Post Game (but it’ll end up being 11pm as always) and then on 7flix at 11:55pm.
Surely this’ll be changed, most likely the latter as it’s basically midnight, although they often air an encore from earlier in the week in that main channel timeslot so maybe that’ll go? @TV.Cynic

I tried watching it earlier in the year and lasted about 15 minutes. It’s a terrible movie.

Finally, one worth a recommendation. This was excellent, saw it at the old Mornington Cinemas (at the end of Main St), sadly couldn’t survive coronavirus and closed down - punched above its weight for the past 20+ years with the various multi-plexes in Frankston. Know the lovely old owner, rumour is he is setting up a small bar-cinema nearby.
Anyway (sorry!), back to the movie, a surprise. Will be one of Clint Eastwood’s last (if not last) starring and directing movies and a rare anti-hero role, Bradley Cooper and Dianne Weist were also very good supporting in it. Worth a watch/record.
Not to be confused with Sharon Stone’s The Mule (2012), a low budget/indie movie about human trafficking at the US-Mexico border. Although IMO, also a pretty good movie. Has aired on ONE HD before.
This aired a couple of weeks ago, you see it on Seven and Nine particularly. I often wonder if it’s due to not getting minimum ratings target set or advertisers or rights and/or if there’s broadcast delays (last night with Prince Philip example). I think sometimes it might be because they’re about to lose the rights. A couple more recent examples on Seven include A Million Ways To Die In The West and The Boy Next Door, latter aired in exact same timeslot a week apart, curiously both from NBC-U which Nine now have an output with.
Unrelated comment: one of those caps (the 7flix movie promo The Count of Monte Cristo) is from Seven’s old Disney output, yet another title they’ve got rights back to, hasn’t aired in many years although, although hasn’t aired on another network since either.

I guess that’s bound to happen since NBCUniversal (through its subsidiary Carnival Films) made the original TV series, and owns distribution rights to both the series and the movie.
If the movie rates well, could Downton Abbey series turn up on 9Gem one day?

Seven probably would’ve loved to have the movie, seeing as they first ran the show to successful ratings.
Any info from networks on Sunday’s overnight funeral coverage (if any), yet? 
edit just saw your comment (on Nine’s) in the Prince Philip thread
Downton runs for approximately 18min longer (without ads), so with breaks they’ve worked out Downton would run past 10:30pm (Adelaide time) so had to choose another program in Lady (which must only run 2 hours with ads instead of Downton’s 2.5 hours) so funeral pre coverage stafts live nationally on time.
