The Sky Showcase channel 'free movie' today is LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring (2001) which, to be honest, has been broadcast once or twice before in the near quarter century since it was released.
Some sales reps appear to implying that the offer is free access to recent content from a Sky Cinema channel, which is not the case.

I got told the same thing! Is it a publicity stunt?

No, as mentioned in the previous replies a movie is shown on Sky Showcase each weekend. It is usually on Saturday night but due to F1 coverage this week's film (Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers) is on Sunday at 15:10.

@xenon81 it was said on the phone a blockbuster movie not a decades old movie that is probably on netflix anyway? I will challenge this when they call me back on Tuesday

At something like a three billion dollar box office the LOTR franchise is undoubtedly a blockbuster, just a rather old one now...
Some salespeople are undoubtedly overdoing the prominence of the offer though.

I had the same phone call and I can't remember the channel either. I'm sure they said the film would start at 7pm and that it is Wonder Woman this Saturday
16 Nov 2024 07:23 PM
It's channel 106 (Sky Showcase) but Wonder Woman was last week's film.
