Looking at how SBS World Movies is programmed too with the same movie within 24hours or a few days apart and then a long gap, it makes complete sense from a cost perspective.

And presumably another random 30min filler back at 7pm too 
And guess what? Homecoming is on Sunday on 9Go!
So now 7 have rights to Spider-Man 1, Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man 3, The Amazing Spider-Man, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and Spider-Man Far From Home. Bloody Hell.
Nine only has rights to Homecoming and nobody has rights to Spider-Verse.
Seven, just please get Homecoming off Nine!

Not sure if it means anything more, but Nine appear to have secured rights to WB titles again (ones that have since aired on Seven). Cinderella Story the other week and upcoming The Blind Side and The Shawshank Redemption (all three recently aired on Seven too and all three have previously aired on Nine).
Not sure if Seven had one lengthy deal or two with a renewal, but their WB output goes back about 6 years, so wonder if it’s recently expired?
If so, networks have mostly since been doing small cherry pick deals with multiple studios, Seven recently doing one with Sony which includes 7Plus rights (as previously noted), so it’d mean Nine’s MGM output and Seven’s 20C Fox output are the only remaining ‘commercial exclusive’ full outputs going - the latter possibly coming to an end too (signed early 2018 and started during Winter Olympics - of course now owned by Disney).
I’m hoping Simpsons on Nine happens.
Any reason you want The Simpsons on 9?

They seem to have, yet again 
, reverted to 7pm starts including one of them being a FTA premiere, not seen since earlier in the year around the time of Prince Philip’s death and funeral coverage (when Alita Battle Angel which finally aired last night was first slated - that was a later Saturday timeslot though with a rare promo and Maleficent was scheduled at 7pm).
Although, even though I’ve previously questioned (and a few here agreed) the bizarre 7:30pm starts after Surveillance Oz, the ob-doc seems to rate fairly well in Sydney, could just be lockdown though.

Day too early, its the 4th.
I wonder who’ll be showing Flight 93? That movie hasn’t been shown around the Anniversary of 9/11 for a couple of years now.
Nine should grab their old tape out from 15 years ago “9/11” as they called it (or “Inside the Twin Towers” internationally), was in two parts, was he excellent re-enactment telemovie of what happened inside that day, based upon transcripts, witness accounts and family members (including their full cooperation). One of the only of its kind ever produced and sends shivers down the spine.
Memorable is Stanley Praimath hiding under his desk in the impact floors of the South Tower (second hit) and, along with a few others, surviving!
Think it did like 1.6m or 2m metro or something IIRC.
The second part documented the other flights and the war on terror in the middle east, rather than the World Trade Centre.
Anyone here remember watching it? Have a VHS recording somewhere.
