Why do Japan get movies later than America or other places? -

Japan always gets movies later than America does, and it sucks cause whenever I m excited about a movie here, my friends in America are like quot;Thats old!!quot; So. Does anyone know why Japan is slower than America?

Every country has a different release date. Because Hollywood movies are made in America that is where they will be released first. TV is the same, although that has been changing because people file share TV episode online.

Depends on the makers of the film I suppose. Obviously America will get the films that are made in America, and Japan will get Japanese films before America does.

Well, most movies are made IN America. So obviously we would have them first. Japan has to wait for our movies to be translated in Japanese, get approved by whatever censors their country has, sort through any customs issues, etc..
