Thankfully, have ordered a multi-region player anyway so can order some criterions.

Region coding wouldn't be so bad if they would just release the films everywhere, that they don't is beyond a joke.

From what i've gathered the following is an estimate on region coding. Not official figures or facts, just a guess.

Paramount Pictures 100% Region Free
Universal Studios 100% Region Free
Sony Pictures 90% Region Free
Warner Bros 90% Region Free
Lionsgate 50% Region Free
Walt Disney 50% Region Free
20th Century Fox 10% Region Free
MGM 10% Region Free
