Yahoo Movies 2020 movies: Everything new to Sky Cinema and Now TV in December

Although the world has irrevocably changed over the last year, 2020 is set to end in much the same way as it began: with Cats on screen.
Tom Hooper’s big screen adaptation of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, starring James Corden, Judi Dench, Rebel Wilson et al, will premiere exclusively on Sky Cinema – and on NOW TV with a Sky Cinema Pass – on Boxing Day, a year after it made its cinematic bow.
Although not a hit with critics, Boxing Day is the perfect time to indulge in the film’s quixotic charms while stuffed full with another helping of leftovers, half-drunk on chocolate liqueurs, and unable – or unwilling – to reach for the remote.
That’s not all though, as Sky Cinema has a wealth of treats premiering throughout the month including Greta Gerwig’s critically acclaimed adaptation Little Women, the much-loved-in-lockdown Trolls World Tour, and Sonic The Hedgehog.
Sky Q has also announced it will be adding 40+ films in HDR (High Dynamic Range) to Sky Cinema in time for Christmas too. This will add more colour range to the UHD films on offer, giving you better contrast, making the colour pop like never before.
Here’s every new premiere coming to Sky Cinema in December.
