| Mar 20, 2017 at 12:48 | comment | added | Jörg W Mittag | In Germany, it's Thursday, although some movies have worldwide synchronized releases. In the past, it also used to be that it took months until a movie was released in Germany, but nowadays it seems that dubbing is accelerated (or rather the American release delayed) so that the movie can be released in all major localized markets in the same week. | |
