Saturday night is still Premiere night and pretty much all Box Office movie= s
show on Premier and Premier WS on a Saturday night a couple months after Bo= x
Office. Sky have actually introduced a couple of other Premiere nights for<= BR> the lower profile movies coming from box office. E.g. Castaway premiered on=
Saturday, Scary Movie on a Tuesday or Thursday. Some nights there is nothin= g
I want to watch on the movie channels, but compared to the selection on the=
old Sky analogue, it is much improved.

Box Office itself would be my gripe. It is vastly overpriced. =A33 for a mo= vie
that I could rent on DVD for a couple days, VHS for a week, a few months before it comes onto box office and for half the price! I will use box
office now and then since it is bloody convenient, but if they dropped the<= BR> price, I would likely use it much more. Unless I have people round to make<= BR> it worth it, I usually wait the 2-3 months it takes to hit Premier.
