FX has nabbed another movie that opened No. 1 at the box office: this past weekend’s top performer Act Of Valor. Picking up the Relativity-distributed Navy SEAL actioner, which grossed a healthy $25.5 million for the three-day weekend, seems like a no-brainer for the male-skewing FX. Eight weeks into 2012, FX has acquired the commercial TV rights to six No. 1 movies this year: Act Of Valor, Safe House (Universal), The Vow (Sony/Screen Gems), Chronicle (Fox), Underworld Awakening (Sony/Screen Gems) and Contraband (Universal). Additionally, FX, the most agressive movie buyer among the basic cable networks, has picked up a slew of other 2012 titles that have had mixed performances: This Means War and Red Tails (Fox), Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance (Sony), Wanderlust (Universal), and The Immortals (Relativity).

When will these movies be shown?
Are they bypassing the PPV and Premium channel windows? Or is this a pickup for the broadcast window, and when does that window start?
Liberals seem pretty upset over this movie. Its just a dumb action flick guys settle down.
One war film in the last 20 years DOESNT show military members as blood thirsty thugs and the liberals get upset.
Check out dax shepards twitter he even compared this movie to nazi propaganda, you cannot make this stuff up. @daxshepard1
Great movie and I have seen it twice already and will be picking up the Blu-Ray edition the moment it hits the stores.
