.... at least in theory, but if someone manages to import copies compatible with

US video display, then it will have the local title where the copy originated.

The DVD video standards change internationally, but there are probably some

foreign DVDs that are US compatible. Also, the foreign producers may burn some

US compatible DVDs. There definitely is a market mechanism by which foreign

DVDs are imported to the US for use on US-definition players. I presume a

substantial chunk of these are legitimate copies, which suggests that " Crazy In

Love " could make it stateside before the " Mozart " release.

The title works in some other languages so I am not worried. I

am a lot more worried about a theater release here.
