I think with Viacom owning Channel 5, I wouldn't be surprised if we see the films end up there. I'm guessing they've not renewed their Sony contract as Channel 4 is showing MIB3.”
I thought Channel 5 must have had Sony movies to 2011 because The Green Hornet is there, then I saw Bad Teacher turn up on Channel 4. I'm also confused how Arthur Christmas is on Channel 4 but The Pirates is on BBC1 and they're both Sony. Also how did BBC1 get Tintin and it's a Paramount movie?
I miss the days of press stories about movie deals. At least you knew who had what then!
