Some movies are, for one reason or another, not released in the US at the same time as they are released in England or France or Japan,, or in some cases not released in the US at all (I actually know of such a movie and why it has not been released in the US). (The Producers (look it up on IMDB that is the title of a movie) are in financial trouble if they release it in the US (For the same reason the title characters in the movie are in trouble). I have seen the movie however.
