Why don't movies get released in Japan?

Question:


99% of the time cinema movies do not get released in japan and if they do they are released several months or even a year later ( wtf ) can anyone tell me why most movies get released in places like india and pakistan singapore ect pretty much everywhere not japan?
LIKE PLANET OF THE APES it got releaed last month or something and japan is getting it late october ?? WHYYY ! are japanese people so greedy they only wanna buy movies if they are sure to be succesfull?

Answer:


Not every film is released in every country.
The problem in this case is finding a distributor who thinks the film will be financially viable. If they believe the film won't do good business, or the release is the wrong time of the year for that country, or it clashes with another big name release they may delay distribution of a particular film or may not buy it at all.
You need to research how the film/cinema business works.
