Well, until "day and date" releases become commonplace, most films are released in different territories at different times and rarely is the UK the first.   As cinemas become digital that's going to become less of an issue, of course, but one of the things that drives TV and Film "piracy" is people who want to see things before all the spoilers get everywhere.  Different dates in different territories (and the nonsense of DVD region encoding, which comes from the same motivation) drive piracy.
