Sky Cinema: What’s New in April 2020?

Sky Cinema grabs a lot of the bigger blockbusters, but often promotes smaller movies that have gained a nice little following, so we’re keeping track of all the new films that are hitting the service in the coming month.

In April, you’ll get new premieres like Spider-Man: Far From Home and Detective Pikachu. As always, quite a few of the films in the lineup will also be available via NOW TV, but here’s an official look at what’s coming to Sky Cinema over the next few weeks…
