Got this slightly older release the other day. Great little movie. Emilia Clarke

It was released by Universal, but it is LOCKED for region B.

Except for that one release of Gladiator, aren't all Universal, Paramount and Warner releases supposed to be region ABC? Are there other locked Universal releases in the UK?

It doesn't matter much to me, as I just changed the region, but I think it's interesting nonetheless.

It might have something to do with it not having a US release. The only other release is Australian and that's not from Universal

No, Universal UK locks some of it's titles, but it's mostly Carnival Films releases (like Downton Abbey and Dracula) or stuff nobody outside the UK wouldn't want.

I keep warning people they shouldn't automatically assume Universal's UK releases are region free any more, but they bush me off like a crazy person. They'll learn eventually...

Worth pointing out that there are one or two region locked Paramount and Warner Bros. titles in the US too...

I did mention Gladiator from Paramout

Thanks very much for the input.
