Hello teachers!
Is my sentence correct? "The movie will have ended at exactly 9PM tomorrow" - There is a high possibility that at exactly 9PM tomorrow the movie will end. Thanks

Re: Future Perfect

"The movie will have ended at 9pm" doesn't mean the same as "At exactly 9pm the movie will end".

The first means it could finish at any time before 9pm. The second means it will finish at exactly 9pm.

The first would be more natural with "by 9pm".
