And why are movies produced outside the U.S. rarely shown in American theaters?</i>"<br /><br />Excellent question! As someone who has no idea when (or if!) Cabin in the Woods will show up in Spain, this is something which has been bugging me for years! :o(CrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-35332903012692479082012-05-09T11:46:49.543-04:002012-05-09T11:46:49.543-04:00While I agree that staggered release dates are ann...While I agree that staggered release dates are annoying, particularly of the "have-to-wait-months" (or just plain not available) type, I have a halfbaked but plausible-sounding theory that it has to do with timing. The US/Canada release dates are picked based on the "shape" of the year, when holidays are, what people are likely to be doing, etc. (and to spread out the big movies, to some extent). Change to some other part of the world, e.g. Europe, and you get a different positioning of holidays and other activities so a different release date may make a lot more sense, especially for big movies where there's so much emphasis on a huge opening weekend. For example, <i>Battleship</i> seems to have opened in the UK in mid-April near the end of their two-week Easter school holidays, which wouldn't suit a US release, while the later US release date wouldn't suit the UK.<br /><br />It's less about whether the movie is available than what they want to use the cinemas for on different dates, and how they can make a big impact.Patricianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-9541399392398417832012-05-08T19:44:25.005-04:002012-05-08T19:44:25.005-04:00Last paragraph :
