I saw the advertisement in the paper, but guess I hadn’t been paying attention to the TV adverts from the US about the release date.. That is very interesting.. guess they got it and decided to show it a couple of days early.. This is Barbados after all.. copyright means very little here..(even though people try to make it mean something)
or were they showing the bootleg version?
I’ve some friends in the US who asked me if I was going to see it on May 1st, I told them it was opening here on the 29th, they didn’t believe me. 😐
I dont wonder how they do it, as they MUST have the reels in advance somehow, but why the nonconformity? jump on the competition maybe? I think by and large copyright infringement on movies is ignored in these parts. Guyana for sure is bootleg movie CENTRAL!
They dont just have guys hustling on the street, you can go into a store and browse bootlegged copies of movies as you would in a legit video store, all catalogued by genre, from XXX – Cartoons – Documentaries. I have photos to prove it too!
It opened in the UK officially on Wednesday; it’s probably just a distributor’s quirk.
That said, remember when “Brenda Starr” was shown in Barbados in 1989 and the movie opened in the US in 1992? (Although in that case the movie had been filmed in 1986 and was appalling.)
