It’s licenced by SPTVID and is a proper Hollywood release (was Christmas 2020 here in-between COVIDs/lockdowns), wonder if it was part of a wider deal/package and they just had it sitting there now available to run and would be a waste not too or maybe required to broadcast? It should be uploaded to 7Plus for a limited time too.

Or- they were obligated to play it before a deal ends June 30? Just a thought…

Well, seeing as this network only seems to play from this provider Men In Black and 2012 over and over and over and over again, wouldn’t surprise me if there were a bunch of other titles not played/they weren’t really interested in that yes they’ve suddenly realised “whoops we’d better air these”

I’ve never really got why there’s different start times between markets on Friday nights? Is it due to obligatory BH&G (whereas it’s not on 7mate in AFL markets)? Or “M” classification now allowed at 7:30pm since IIRC end of 2019? Or earlier the better start for ratings? Or all of the above? I’ll tag @JohnsonTV who often has solid opinions/thoughts.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is on NITV tonight.
Odd choice of movie for the channel?

NITV generally air movies on Friday nights. Some Australian films here and there, and some odd choices too that doesn’t to fit in properly with the channel. Like tonight. Oddly, they had The Care Bare Movie last Friday too.

Two FTA premieres, on the same night, both from Fox (or 20th Century - now under Disney), also suggesting Seven still have a current or new deal with that label, as well as Disney itseelf as seen the past 12-24 months, but unfortunately due to protecting Disney Plus no doubt show/movie titles dictated heavily by the studio.
Call of the Wild smack bang at the start of COVID and performed poorly at the box office, but mixed reviews and mega star in Harrison Ford. 3.5 years to TV since its theatrical release (Feb 2020), however possibly this current deal(s) wasn’t active at the time, so back-dated so to speak.
Last Duel also during COVID and majorly bombed, but was well received by critics. Less than 2 years to TV (Oct 2021), more in-line with a current deal then and for today’s licencing.

Doesn’t seem like the sort of movie you’d expect to see on 7Bravo?

I do remember them airing Dante’s Peak sometime ago, a movie that played mostly on 7mate, then on GO! (around the time it was called that) then recently on 9Go!
Them airing Back to the Future would be for the good, breaking up the continuous block of Shark Tank, Million Dollar Listing NY, Kardashians, etc.
90s psychological thriller smash hit Se7en (also famously graphic and edited for TV including R18+ still today) airing tonight across Seven, however rare vastly contrasted start times (e.g.) Adelaide 9:45pm vs Sydney after midnight…
Airing on 7mate in Brisbane, started at 9:50pm.

Interesting choice of broadcast program enders by Seven tonight for The Call of the Wild (7mate markets only where end credits are removed with no split screen and a network promo)… An ancient Walt Disney logo:

Also don’t supposecapped the promo (there was a longer version aired at the end of the final ad break of Border just before 7:30pm)? And for vault purposes with a now rare FTA premiere.
