Why does Britain and other European countries get American movies and TV shows get released a few weeks later?

I'm just wondering, because we have to wait sometimes up to 4-6 weeks in the UK!|||It depends on the movie. But its so that the studio gets a constant amount of money. The longer a film is in theaters, the less money goes to the studio and more that goes to the theater. Releasing the film at different times helps even out the money.





Sometimes its the other way though. Lots of movies get released earlier in europe.|||Britain is not a country...
