This is a very lazy observation, but for a US production, if it’s released in the US first it’s often a sign they’re trying to get the opening weekend without many reviews available to dissuade attendance.

If it’s actually a good film, it’ll open in a foreign region a week or two before the US so they can use those reviews in promotion.
