FX said today that it has acquired commercial TV premiere rights to Paramount’s Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol, Sony’s The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and Fox’s We Bought A Zoo. The deals were completed before year’s end, the network said, meaning that for the year FX landed 28 of the top 50 highest-grossing films of 2011 (other late-season pickups included The Sitter, Puss In Boots, Real Steel, Immortals, Paranormal Activity 3, and A Very Harold And Kumar Christmas). The movies will debut on the network beginning in early 2013. “We landed 19 films that grossed more than $100 million representing two-thirds of all films that topped that mark, which was by far our best year ever,” FX Networks EVP Chuck Saftler said in a release announcing the pickups. “Our movie line-up has been a key primetime ratings driver, and it continues to provide an outstanding lead-in platform for our original series.”


Great! Cause I just love commercials for shitty FX shows and bathroom cleaner interspersed throughout a film.
Shitty FX shows? That’s not a thing.
Yeah, The League belongs right there. And Archer. Wilfred.
You’re forgetting Justified and the last three seasons of Rescue Me.
“The movies will debut on the network beginning in early 2013.”
…which means by then no one will care.
I can’t wait to watch The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo on FX with cropped picture; edited to death; numerous commercials; irritating pop-ups and the ‘squashed’ end credits. It must be fun working on a film only to have your name pretty much wiped out of view so the network could run ads. Why bother showing films on network these days. It is NOT the way to watch films.
Could always rent the Blu-ray?
