FX is adding another No. 1 summer opener to its movie lineup. The cable network has bought the exclusive TV rights to this weekend’s new entry, Fox’s Rise Of The Planet of The Apes, which is exceeding expectations and is now on track to gross $50 million. Additionally, FX has also acquired the critically praised Warner Bros. comedy Crazy, Stupid, Love, which opened last weekend and is expected to gross about $42 million by Sunday. The pickups of Apes and Crazy, Stupid, Love join the recent FX acquisitions of Friends With Benefits, Horrible Bosses, Captain America: The First Avenger & Thor (both under FX’s 2008 output deal with Marvel), Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Bad Teacher, Green Lantern, The Hangover Part II, Rio, Super 8, X-Men: First Class, Just Go With It, The Green Hornet, Tron: Legacy, and Kung Fu Panda 2.

This is nuts services like HBO won’t get these films and so we have to put up edited for TV prints and ten tons of ads.
You’ll certainly have to deal with commercials, but if you’re concerned about content editing, just watch ‘Sons of Anarchy’ and your fears will be put to rest.
How about giving us a complete list of all movies FX acquired once the blockbuster period is over instead of making a new article about FX getting another movie every 3 days.
Id rather take edited for tv and ads over 15 a month for HBO. Its definitely going to hurt pay cable providers if they can’t provide the level of films that free TV is providing.
