It was promoted in-program stadium pop-up during today’s AFL too with the tag-line “what are you doing after the game”.

7mate have had the ‘double feature Sunday’ before, last about a year or so ago.

As Cynic mentioned, licenced in this territory by Disney. It will be the first FTA premiere Disney produced/co-produced movie to air on Seven in a few years.

This one is a co-distribution with NBC-U handling domestic (North America). The movie combines narratives from “Unbreakable” (2000) Disney and “Split” (2016) NBC-U.

For overseas territories including here, Disney also used the rare Buena Vista International banner (instead of Walt Disney Pictures with the castle or Touchstone) as it’s also a co-production with Disney being the overseas rather than domestic, meaning they couldn’t use one of the other banners - previously seen on movies here such as “Air Force One”. The modern banner is glossier:

They’ve got a few extended/franchise/genre (AKA lazy) ones airing at the moment, here’s another

“Have a hangover every Wednesday night”

And is this end-tag a wink from the Seven Promotions team? :clap: :joy: hint: think AFL

10 will show the FTA premiere of A Quiet Place on Saturday, May 29 at 8pm. The horror movie stars Emily Blunt and husband John Krasinski, and is directed by Krasinski. It received critical acclaim and did well in the box office back in 2018.

The screening happens two days after the cinema release of A Quiet Place Part II. Both titles are distributed by Paramount.

Good to have A Quiet Place to have its premiere on Ten. Good timing to have it on Saturday, with Part 2 out in cinemas.

Advanced guides show Seven will be airing a movie marathon on Saturdays (main channel and 7mate if AFL is on) of a certain blockbuster automotive franchise (won’t actually name them as I believe we can’t comment officially until Cynic releases the guides from the networks) from this week.

I’m guessing this will be the final time, or second last time if they encore them on a multi-channel weeks later, as rights should shift to Nine (as we’ve seen from this studio in recent years recent ones such as “Bridesmaids” and “Love Actually” with Nine now having the output with them). I reckon “Pitch Perfect” (coincidently may or may not also be scheduled this week) and “Bridget Jones 1 and 2” will also be next.

Interesting matchup for Saturday 5 June

Seven / 7Mate:

07:30 PM The Fast and the Furious (2001)
09:40 PM 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)

Nine
08:40 pm Fast & Furious 7 (2015)

And THAT’s why Seven or Nine should buy the whole series, not just seperate films.

Surely that’s an unfortunate accident!

And will it stand?

Surely not, one will budge and one would hope for some civilised co-operation between programming departments.

Seven could wait a week, as it appears to be a multi-week marathon?

Or Nine could wait weeks until that’s over?

Worst case scenario for viewers / franchise fans (probably 40+ or 55+ age groups less likely to have digital, etc access) is neither budge and they just cancel each other out. LOL

Doesn’t really matter, depending where you are up to, you have the choice of watching either one? The other can be recorded or will definitely be repeated at another time .

Found more Roadshow Television variant logos from various films on Ten and Nine:


The Gunrunner, Channel Ten:




Lucky Stiff, Channel Nine:

It’s just not an ideal thing to do, you almost never see it eventuate if possible.

And then there’s the situation of a licencing mix-up where two different network channels schedule the exact same movie in roughly the same timeslot! (e.g.) 48 Hrs a few years back ONE HD (Ten) and 9Gem (Nine) - it was the latter that budged and changed it a few days prior to broadcast.
