Turner Broadcasting's TBS and TNT are trying to corner the market on theatrical prebuys, locking up the cable-TV rights to four high-visibility movies set for release by New Line and Picturehouse later this year: "The Women," "Journey to the Center of the Earth," the Zac Efron vehicle "17 Again" and the Vince Vaughn-Reese Witherspoon comedy "Four Christmases."
