Do film studios stipulate a timeframe when their films can be shown within the overall contract?
Reason for asking is that on my dodgy box I have UK and US movie channels and I have noticed that some films appear to be shown in parallel with each other. You will see it being shown on a UK and US channel within a short time frame and then it not appear for months before popping up again in a similar way or being shine at the exact same time.
For example… Forrest Gump is starting in an hour in both the UK and the US - Sky and Showtime
Not sure if it is just a coincidence or not?
