Answer 6

The answer is simple, before a blockbuster movie is released to cable channels such as FOX, FX, or Disney channel. There is a time limit on how long the film legally has to stay off a cable channel. So when you are "In" a film, you are first shown "In" theaters. Once that time limit expires the film is then shown "On" T.V. and you are now "On" T.V. The reason for the legal time limit is to make sure that the anyone who enjoyed the movie will buy it on DVD/ VHS release date before they have the chance to see it on cable.

Answer 7

The same reason you wear "one" bra, and a "pair" of panties.
