Exciting New Chapter for Movie Lovers

There is wonderful news for film enthusiasts across the UK and Ireland! Sky has announced the launch of Sky Cinema, set to debut on 8 July. This exciting new service is designed to bring customers even closer to the magic of the big screen, replacing the beloved Sky Movies brand with an enhanced experience that builds on more than a quarter of a century of home cinema heritage.

Subscribers can look forward to a fantastic upgrade in their viewing options. The new service will feature a brand-new movie premiere every single day of the week. This represents a fantastic 75% increase compared to the previous offering, ensuring there is always something fresh to watch. From the thrilling Spectre arriving on 8 July to the family favourites The Jungle Book and Zootopia leading the ambitious Christmas collection, the calendar is packed with blockbuster hits.

A Premium Experience at No Extra Cost

Perhaps the most delightful aspect of this update is that all these enhancements are available at no extra cost to both existing and new subscribers. Furthermore, high-definition (HD) picture and sound quality will be offered as standard to all customers on the Sky and Virgin Media platforms. This ensures that every film feels as immersive as possible, taking your home viewing experience one step closer to the cinema.

Whether you prefer watching live, on demand, or on the go, the library of films has grown significantly. Major films are available just eight months after their cinema release, allowing you to enjoy exclusive access to titles like Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation and Bridge of Spies sooner than ever before. With this launch, Sky Cinema is poised to become the biggest dedicated movie subscription service in Europe, with similar exciting rebrands planned for Germany, Austria, and Italy in the coming months.

If you would like to find out more about how to access these fantastic new movie features or need help choosing the right package for your home entertainment needs, our friendly team is here to assist. Simply call us on 0844 448 1671. Calls cost 7p per minute plus your phone company's access charge. We look forward to helping you enjoy the very best in cinema from the comfort of your own home!
