Why is Prometheus is being released to theaters on a staggered schedule? Wouldn't it make more sense to have a tighter release schedule?
Germany usually ranks near the top in gross earnings for sci-fi films in Europe... but August? And October for Italy?
Are they timing it so it competes well with films being shown in those markets? Dubs for foreign versions not completed yet?
Two months apart for most of Latin America and Spain seems highly unusual, two and ten weeks between them and Chile. Five weeks apart for Italian-speaking Switzerland and Italy also seems unusual.
No release for China? It's obviously been dubbed in Chinese (it's being released in Hong Kong/Taiwan). Has it yet to pass through the CCP censors?
Seems like there's the prospect of a lot of lost revenue from piracy.
