So that can take some time. But it makes no sense at all with movies. If the movie is hot there is no doubt people in other countries would want to see it and if they know it is going to be a couple of years until they can see it many will just download it from a torrent site. If they distributed the movies in these other countries at the same time (or as we said offer some kind of pay per view model online) they could get sales then instead of losing them to people who otherwise turn to torrents.

That's how it works in Belize....when I was down there, I found out that there are NO movie theaters around and the ONLY way that they watch recent movies is from bootlegging.
