Aside from Disney and it’s various labels, Sky haven’t lost any other deals to the ‘streamers’ - they still have Paramount theatrical titles albeit shared, still have their deals with Warner Bros, Sony & Universal and actually nabbed two deals from distributors who had deals at Amazon (EOne and StudioCanal)… the issues with fewer movies has primarily come from the reduction in major theatrical titles released over the last couple of years hence their pivot to more acquired and produced original movies…
I honestly don’t think the number of linear channels is linked to the number of premiere movies… the genre focus of the channels are far more linked to the overall catalogue they have at any one time.
