Hasn't this been happening for years already???

US have loads more then UK. Same with DVD.

Fox skips the UK all the time, even when they release in other EU territories.

I think it has a lot to do with the studios finally admitting that importing US discs into the EU is commonplace, and has become even moreso with region-free discs and compatible video standards. So instead of making covers, disc art, ratings submissions etc, for every country, they just master one (or two) disc(s) and watch it (them) spread all over via importing.

So basically they're being cheap and lazy. Sounds about right!

It's also out profit maximisation. UK has some of the lowest BD prices in the world, whilst on these vanilla back catalogue from Warner customers wont pay the £10+ they want on release. To sell here they really need to be £7 or less especially when most of these are only a couple £ on DVD.

I'm still waiting for Get Carter (original) announcement!
