How long until movies are on Sky Movies?

LadyMorticia

I am so sorry if this is in the wrong section!

My DH and I won Sky+HD and Sky World package for a year and were wondering how long it takes for new movies to be on Sky Movies?

I know that DVD takes between 4-6 months-ish but wasn't sure about Sky? I know it's quicker for them to be Sky Box Office and I know that Sky Movies used to be about 12-18 months-ish not sure if it has changed since then?

Thank you.

How long is a piece of string it depends who is distributing the movie there really is no hard and fast rule though , some don't get onto sky until after they have been aired on other channels. Generally too many people give sky their money(me included for sport) and thus they have a larger pot than most terrestrial channels to bid for movies. End of waffle :cool:

Nothing has changed really. Thor is available today for the first time on Sky movies. Its UK release was 27 April 2011, so a year for this one. I'm not sure how much earlier they are on box office. I refuse to pay extra so I never look.:D

Still the same. This is from Sky web.

We show around 90% of the top 100 movies from the previous year at the cinema, along with hundreds of classic movies.
