Maybe it's not all Lucasfilm's doing. What if the other countries designate a time for when their domestic movies are out of the way? Maybe other countries give their own movies preferential treatment as well. They probably don't want a movie like Star Wars to come in and take away virtually every box office dollar.
That's exactly what I was thinking. The American movie industry is so large compared to some other countries. It definitely wouldn't work with every movie, but Episode 2 might be something special. If it was neccessary, I wouldn't mind a delay in the North American release, even.
yeah, what's the difference betweem 681 days and 700 or so days? it seems like an insignificant delay, but it would be like murder when that time actually comes!
