Do movies in the Philippines come out in theaters, same time as movies in America?

Question

Just wondering.

Answer 1

we travel back and forth every six month to US and Philippines.  When we come back here in US the movies that already shown in the Philippines they just started promoting it.  

Answer 2

some doesn't really come out at the same time because some come out there 2 months after the premiere here in US

Answer 3

It depends. Blockbuster movies and the popular ones come out around the same time. Other movies don't show in the Philippines. The thing is, in the Philippines, people just buy pirated movies. *hehe* I'm not promoting it or anything, just saying. When the movie comes out in america, a day later you see it in DVD stores (fake DVDs) in the Philippines.

Answer 4

Original and pirated movies comes out simultaneously in the Phil. I don’t know in your area.

Answer 5

the more popular movies do. they do simultaneous (or almost simult) screening to prevent pirated copies from circulating in the country before the movie comes out in theaters

Answer 6

for some movies, yes. those that are really popular and well budgeted like the Dark Knight.

for some,it gets delayed for a few weeks or even months. we also have Filipino movies to cater to that's why.
