While there are now zones for Blu-ray, it's up to the studio to determine if they wat to enforce restrictions in a certain zone. If they decide that they want every zone to have access to that movie, it's up to them. If they only want a 1 zone or 2 zone pressing. that's how they'll do it.I don't know the details, but I believe after 1 year of release (the disc, not the movie) if there are more pressings of that movie it will be an all-zone pressing (ie, the studio cannot specify pressings after 1 year to restrict any zone).
Follow Ups:
Well, all of that sounds a lot more reasonable than the situation with normal DVDs where the zone system genuinely works against the customer.I bought a copy of Tarkovsky's "Solaris" on a local, zone 4 DVD late last year when it was finally released here. It was the first local DVD release of the film and that release could hardly impact on the film release since I saw the film on it's release here in Australia around 30 years ago, and a few times after that. In the US there were at least 2 releases of the film available yet here there were none. If the zone system really did anything to protect the interests of the copyright holder in such cases, I could find some reason to support it, but it isn't protecting the interests of the copyright holder in such cases. It works against them by limiting sales. A totally hopeless situation for the prospective customer and a stupid one for the copyright holder.
Making things difficult for the prospective customer can rarely, if ever, be a sensible decision and I don't t hink it's a sensible one here.
