Im sick and tired of having my favorite movies being released somewhere else than the U.S....what is the deal with this crap!

[dvd_mazter]

Great movie, I wish that was a North America release

[jtwise]

if star wars gets an overseas release before usa, i will be mad

[BLu-Balls]

Distribution rights unfortunately.

North American consumers just have to put the pressure on the studios here I guess.

The deal, is that there is a whole wide world outside of your window, that doesn't involve the good 'ole US of A. And thank God for the option.

Maybe to the blind. Zatoichi got over a 3 on this site, that's a hoot as well. It's one of the flatest, blandest looking HD transfers I've ever seen. Don't even get me started on the Truman Show review.

I too get bummed when a movie is released on blu overseas or in Canada and not in the U.S. Guess all we can do is wait....and hope

Do you people not realize that the US gets releases other countries don't!? You are taking those for granted.

I think that if a movie is made in the U.S. that it should be released here. I can understand releasing them in other countries, but they should release it in the country it was made in. I don't think that is taking anything for granted .02

[DigitalfreakNYC]

I don't know if I would totally believe that site. None of the other dk sites have it up for order.

Do you not understand the concept that a certain studio may only have the rights to overseas distribution?

Sweeney Todd is the perfect example. Warner has the rights to release the movie on any home video format abroad. DreamWorks is the studio that has the rights to release it domestically. So even if Warner wanted to release the movie on Blu-ray here in the US they couldn't. This is also why some Blu-ray imports have different transfers then the one's released here. Different studios do things differently.

What is this movie about. It seems interesting.

[MyBlu-rayBrotherEd]

Sweeny Todd was released in the U.S. by Dreamworks. What is your point exactly?

I know that. By a DIFFERENT STUDIO than the one that released it overseas. Jeez...

That a studio cant release a movie in the US if they don't have a right to do so. Do you expect one studio to tell another studio to release a certain movie in a territory since they don't have the rights themselves?

Not getting the point.....Jeez. You're a sensitive little guy aren't you? It is still my OPINION that if a movie is made in the U.S. it should be released in the U.S. Someone has the rights to do so, or it wouldn't have been released on DVD either. By saying this I am not taking anything for granted, not trying to be an expert on how distribution rights between the studios work, or trying to pick a fight. All I am doing is stating my opinion, and agreeing with the OP on his frustration. Sorry if I offended you. Have a coke and a smile on me.

OK lets take Fight Club for example.

Fight Club was released on Blu-ray in GERMANY by the studio KINOWELT Home Entertainment. They do NOT have the rights to distribute Fight Club in the US.

The studio that DOES have the rights to release it here in the US is 20TH CENTURY FOX. They have decided (for whatever reason) that they don't want to release it on Blu-ray at this time.

A studio cannot release a movie in another country if they do not have the rights to do so.

That is why certain movies are released in other countries before they are released here. And vice-versa.
