Found a report from the Competition Commission that said that as at 2012 Sky had lost 50% of their film rights due to Netflix etc.

As a result, viewers had been falling from the previous 20 years and (as at 2012) only accounted for 1% of viewing hours.

Spoke to VM to explain this and asked for a credit instead of the movies offer, been given a £50 credit if I agreed to keep the movie channels!

They really appear desperate to avoid movie churn, I'd advise anyone paying for movies to ring up and cancel as they are likely to be given a very good deal to remain.

Ironically, I've also been given a free 6 months Sky Movie Now TV pass after buying a new Samsung tablet, which I'll give to a family member.
