Have channel 4 struck some kind of deal to show the cheap-o animated films like Space Chimps and Planet 51, I had the latter down as more likely to be a big christmas day BBC premier.
I agree, why are Channel 4 showing all these rubbish animated films? But I don't understand, why did you think that a shitty movie would be BBC's big Christmas day premiere? :p
Planet 51 is actually a pretty decent film. The animation is quite good, the jokes are funny and it has a pretty capable voice cast. Not sure why it was overlooked when it was released.

Yes, that would be the output deals with 20th Century Fox (Space Chimps) and Entertainment Film Distributors (Planet 51)....
Mr Sirs, I have REC 2 down as 16th December 00:40-02:20 (Sunday morning)
Friday 14th December - Pokémon the Movie: Black - Victini and Reshiram - 4/00pm-5.55pm, CITV
Right let's try the edit again that I was previously going to do, but got half posted for some reason
Saturday 22nd December
Space Chimps has now been pulled
Four Christmases is now listed as 9.00pm-10.40pm
Rare Exports is now listed as 1.00am-2.20am
Sunday 23rd December
Now i'm not sure about this, as i've not known BBC1 to carry TV movies, especially in primetime, closer to the time it maybe listed as a one off drama, at the moment it's listed as TV movie, anyway.
Loving Miss Hatto (2012), 8.30pm-10.00pm, BBC1

City of Ember is now listed as 1.35pm-3.25pm
Secretariat is now listed as 3.05pm-4.55pm
The Sorcerer's Apprentice has been pulled
The Girl Who Played with Fire has been moved forward a day, 12.10am-2.25am (Thursday night/Friday morning)
In this case THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO follows suit, airing a day earlier than previously thought.
Friday 28th December
Planet 51 is now listed as 11.05am-12.45pm
The Sorcerer's Apprentice has been moved to this day, 3.30pm-5.10pm
The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest also moved forward a day, 12.45am-3.10am (Friday night/Saturday morning)
Saturday 29th December
Space Chimps now listed for this day instead, 8.45am-10.35am
Wuthering Heights follows suit, now listed as 11.10pm-1.35am - See side note below
(However, it's gone from being listed as a premiere from 1992 to a premiere from 1939, yet the synopsis indicates otherwise, saying Kaya Scodelario is playing Cathy, she was barely born in 92, not sure about 1939, anyway, the film is from 2011 on further research)
Wow seem to be a few good films on, mainly family friendly, so that's us sorted out this year.
I wonder if these changes have any impact on why I can't find a copy of the Radio Times Christmas edition?
Well done by the way for all those who have posted the films this year it's been a big help in finding new things to watch and for all the updates when last minute changes have gone through.
Changes again, so - note: Loving Miss Hatto is not being treated as a film by listings sources - more a 1 off drama, and Young Victoria seems to have been on before. Corrections and additions welcome though! :-

Didn't know that. Just checked DigiGuide and it's been on Sony Entertainment TV 3 times in the last year (1 in Jan, 2 in March) :eek: (But then we only just the channel on VM a short time ago.)
Just looking at BBC listings, and they're planning to show Happy Feet, anyone know why?
I guess ITV's deal with Warner Bros has run out, a lot of the back catalogue like Catwoman, Last Samurai etc have been shown on Channel 5 as well as a handful of films on BBC One like Poseidon and Superman Returns, I wonder if they'll renew it or if another channel like Channel 4 or Channel 5 will get it as their 2009 films apart from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has yet to receive their terrestrial debut.

Mr Sirs, I have REC 2 down as 16th December 00:40-02:20 (Sunday morning)
None of the BBC Two premieres are being shown on the BBC HD channel.
Young Victoria on January 4 is on both BBC Two and BBC HD, but not sure if it's a premiere.
Midnight?? Can't they make it a bit later, in case the last viewer hasn't fallen asleep yet(?)
And how come they're not showing the third film?
... I mean, where's Dragon Tattoo? They haven't shown that yet.
... Just checked - it's a C4 premiere on Boxing Day at 10.30pm. I know it's not a terrestrial premiere, but it would've been worth a mention.

Expect the Kyurem Pokemon movie to be on next year on CITV at some point.
Arrietty, looking forward to this.
Catfish has aired a couple of times on More4.
