Going On Impulse

Despite the fact we are still almost 3 months away from the theatrical release of the latest Indiana Jones flick--It's already found a home on TV--Once its first run on pay cable and On Demand obligations are completed.

Variety has details:

Pre-buys of unreleased movies are back in vogue, and USA Network has landed a big one: Paramount and Lucasfilm's "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull"

Wow!! Usually the TV nets wait for a film to show up on the big screen before they wheel and deal for broadcast rights.

Then again, the move is pretty smart on USAN's part--Lock in a blockbuster before the competition start to circle...

In case you missed it, you can watch the first trailer for the film...
