Seems a bit late for a kids movie especially in this day and age?

I think it would otherwise be on 9Go! at 7:30pm, if not for sports telecast commitments with NRL (9Gem) and therefore French Open (9Go!) in Melbourne

With Space Invaders and Jeopardy now finished, Nine return to movies (in-line with Seven notwithstanding AFL) from 7:30pm after ACA this Saturday on the main channel, save for occasional market variations (e.g.) Rugby Union in Sydney or Brisbane instead of 9Gem.
Also another Walt Disney-Pixar title with Inside Out (2015), airing on Nine for the first time like Friday’s Finding Dory, previously on Seven, both premiered in 2018 at the tail-end of Seven’s old Disney output, last renewed around 2014-2015.
In time for Inside Out 2, coming soon to cinemas, most liekly a program sponsorship with Disney Australia/NZ advertising during its run.
It’ll be followed at 9:30pm by often repeated but viewer favourite Four Weddings, also 30min ahead of Seven’s Monster Hunter (which is doubtful to come close anyway).
Meanwhile, Seven will be airing a Jurassic Park marathon starting this Saturday, having got rights back from Nine where they regularly aired including 9Go and consistently did well, with their current NBC-U agreement and will now be available on 7Plus.

2017 box office success and critically lauded I, Tonya starring aussie Margot Robbie and Allison Janney in arguably their career performances and for the latter Oscar-winning, looks to be airing for the first time on Nine, tonight on 9Go! It previously premiered and ran multiple times on 10. From Roadshow.

The Long Kiss Goodnight and Speechless both on FTA at the same time this afternoon, on ABC Entertains and Channel 9 respectively.
Both were produced by Renny Harlin, at the time married to Geena Davis who starred in both films. The former also directed the former movie.
Also odd seeing an MA rated movie on daytime TV, but aware the ABC have a different Code.

Side note: appearing in what would’ve been his last mainstream role in Speechless, it’s still a tragedy what happened to the late great Christopher Reeve 
One of his children also left an orphan by age 14 with Reeve’s then wife also dying just over a year later

Aussie movie Wanda and Sully premiered on 9GO! at 1pm today. Actress Amy Raffe (who also appeared in The Bureau of Magical Things, and is a Delta Goodrem fan like me) had a role in the film.

NITV continuing its weird programming, with all-time classic Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (MGM) tonight.
If Seven or Nine aired this in a key slot especially with a good lead-in, it’d probably draw one of the largest movie audiences of the year (think “Grease”, etc). But being SBS… One wonders how/why they got these titles, even ones like “The Exorcist” (Warners) have played a few times!
Meanwhile, ABC Entertains are airing 2015 crime-thriller with Will Smith and Margot Robbie “Focus”, which has previously aired on Seven (Warners).

Saw it a few months ago on NITV was well. They also had Yogi Bear sometime last year as well.

I think it is strange out of all the channels they play movies on it is NITV. Surely World Movies would be a better choice - or even the main channel or Viceland before NITV? What do random movies have to do with “National Indigenous Television”?

Non indigenous movies have been airing on NITV for years. It’s nothing new. Does it make any sense? None at all.
Will it get people tuning into the channel though?

Indigenous people or those that enjoy this channel can’t watch general entertainment?
I think it’s a combination of things; the balance of bringing enough eyeballs to the channel in other day parts, utilising content from the SBS ecosystem where there’s a cost benefit, and availability of suitable programming that isn’t in continued repeat mode.
I’m okay with them airing movies, it’s not ideal, but it’s obviously a funding issue they don’t have more first run or acquired content which would seem to fit the charter.

There’s something not right about Nine’s airing of Ronin (1998) tonight on the main channel, following NRL, in Melbourne specially tonight.
The early ambush scene in the underpass and the succeeding planning scene with the whiteboard back at their base looked incredibly sped-up, all of a sudden everything started playing at rapid-fire (like when networks play and skrink end credits), but dialogue played as normal, maybe some truncation of the scenes as well. No doubt there’ll be more.
Have Nine done this intentionally for time? Or a bad file from MGM? Or am I just going insane? Film’s run time is 2.01hrs apparently. Nine’s scheduled start is 10:40pm-12:58am (which seems rather short for CFTA with ads), but started about 10-15min overtime, what would that be, only ~19min of ads? Something not adding up here!

If it was deliberate then wouldn’t they have also sped up the dialogue?
