ABC Saturday Night Movie
Encyclopedia
ABC Saturday Movie of the Week is a weekly American anthology series that airs on ABC
. The series began as the replacement for ABC's Big Picture Show and as a revival of ABC's Movie of the Week theme (the network used this theme from 1969 until 1976). Since its inception, it has been ABC's main platform for airing theatrical movies, although other movies air as part of the movie of the week format during the holiday season and as special presentations. As such, ABC airs a movie on every night of the week at some point during the television season styled as [Insert Day] Movie of the Week.
ABC's current prime-time movie formats include:
ABC Sunday Movie of the Week
(originally The ABC Sunday Night Movie from 1964–1998, 2004–present under current format)
ABC Monday Movie of the Week
(originally The ABC Monday Night Movie from 1981–2004, 2004–present under current format)
ABC Tuesday Movie of the Week
(originally ABC Tuesday Movie of the Week from 1969–1976, 2004–present under current format)
ABC Wednesday Movie of the Week
(originally ABC Wednesday Movie of the Week from 1967–1976, 2004–present under current format)
ABC Thursday Movie of the Week (originally The ABC Thursday Night Movie from 1982–2004, 2004–present under current format)
ABC Friday Movie of the Week (originally The ABC Friday Night Movie from 1975–1983, 2004–present under current format)
ABC Saturday Movie of the Week
(originally ABC Saturday Superstar Movie from 1971–1973, 2004–present under current format)
Note that ABC's Tuesday and Wednesday Movies of the Week are considered a different format from the current one because they only screened made-for-tv movies.
ABC's past prime-time movie formats include The Wonderful World of Disney (aired on ABC 1954–1961, 1985–1988 and 1997–2008) and ABC Big Picture Show (aired 1999–2003).
Among the films which ABC has broadcast rights to are a package of DreamWorks
films, ironic given that ABC's parent Disney once employed the studio's co-founder Jeffrey Katzenberg
, who fell out of favor with Disney just before joining DreamWorks.
