FX has been busy recently acquiring the TV rights to such hits as Green Lantern, The Hangover Part II, Super 8, X-Men: First Class, Thor, The Green Hornet, Tron: Legacy and Kung Fu Panda 2. Now, according to Deadline, the cable network has a new movie to add to that list, Transformers: Dark Of The Moon. The announcement comes off of Dark Of The Moon being the highest grossing Fourth of July movie of all time racking in $181.1 million domestic to date.

Reports Deadline:

FX is continuing its strategy of dealing for every movie ever made. This time, the network has landed commercial TV premiere rights to Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

According to Variety the movie might premier on FX in late 2013 early 2014, but based on what we have seen so far it seems that if you enjoyed any movie that has come out this year FX is where you will tune in to to watch it on cable.

Please god no, I hate the FX channel we have over here in the UK, the movie will have 15-20 advert breaks in it.

FX is a good network. i dig almost all of the stuff they put on. 'Archer' is hilarious,'Wilfred' looks funny, and the league's a pretty good show.
