Surprise surprise (NOT REALLY), Studio Universal had acquired rights to the Amazon MGM film Coming 2 America which serves as a sequel to Coming To America. While it is perceived as a premiere on the channel, Coming 2 America had already been broadcast on e.tv and TNT.
This is the first time in a long while they had acknowledged a premiere and also strange how they outright ignored The Boss Baby: Family Business despite it coming from their parent company. Then another premiere which comes from a third party gets better treatment.
Below is highlights for the month of November.
14th - 29th November @ 8pm

Hitman Joe Flood is told he has a rare terminal illness. Rather than suffer any pain, he issues a $2 million contract on himself, only to find out just before it goes live that he’s perfectly fine and his test results were mixed up with someone else’s. Any joy Joe feels at the news is short-lived, as an array of hitmen and women emerge from the woodwork, all out to claim the bounty. Can he prevent them from fulfilling the hit and keep the woman he loves from being caught in the crossfire?
