FX has closed a deal for the commercial TV premiere rights to Bad Teacher, the Sony comedy starring Cameron Diaz that bowed to $31 million during the weekend and finished second overall at the domestic box office behind Disney/Pixar’s Cars 2. The deal adds to a growing list of top features due for broadcast on the network, including Green Lantern, Mr. Popper’s Penguins, The Hangover Part II, Super 8, X-Men: First Class, Thor, Just Go With It, The Green Hornet, Tron: Legacy and Kung Fu Panda 2.


Wow, FX has landed a load of crappy movies recently. Congrats???
Guess they’ll have to cut the scene where Cameron grabs the girl’s tits in the surgeon’s office. Oops, spoiler alert.
Very true. Now we know where crappy movies go to die.
Has there been a movie released this summer that FX hasn’t gotten the rights to?
Yay, no “what movies FX doesn’t own?” comments!
wow…nikki didn’t make a degredation of women’s suffrage comment. she’s truly evolved.
I hope they can still air “Devil Wears Prada” 10 times a week still when they air all these movies.
I assume you guys just have an FX purchases rights macro. Does FX edit these movies? I don’t tend to watch theatrical movies on channels with commercials.
FX does not edit the movies much, they will cut from T&A at the last minute and will cut a few words, but you would never know it, they do a very good job of editing the movies that they pick up, the want to be HBO w/comercials and they have been very successfull at that quest
