Another thought on this subject - the Rating of the film may also have
something to do with this. To release a film you would have to submit
it to a countrys Ratings board (Censor?!). In the UK I believe that you
have to submit the Video/DVD to the BBFC for it to be given a rating -
just because it was rated for cinema release does not mean it can be
released on DVD with that rating! Also every seperate feature including
the menu screens have to be rated I believe and each individual piece
has to be paid for seperately. An early Dr Who DVD release had to
rework its menu screens because they use clips playing behind the index
and because they used choice scary moments and put them all back to
back and out of context the menu screens got a higher rating than the
story itself!
So what I'm trying to say is that it is rated for domestic release only
perhaps?
