It would be fair trade if you made us wait for British movies that had already come out. This is an American made movie, and that is why it is strange that it has come out in the UK and Australia but not at "home". You really have to compare it to a British movie made in England but getting wide release in the U.S. before anyone in England saw it. It would be a very uncommon situation.
The problem is that the movie was finished too closed to the summer release of "Step Up 2 da Streetz" or whatever it was called... they couldn't start pushing the movie until the Step Up franchise movie was gone... and then they simply put off or forgot to start promoting it here, which they need at the least several weeks to do if they plan on making money on a film like this with the kind of audience they are trying to attract... and then by the time they realized it, all of the big budget/Oscar-bid films started announcing their fall release dates and there was no way they were going to try to compete, so it will sit on the shelf until at least after the Oscars.
It is annoying because the ONLY REASON I have ANY desire to see this is at all is because I love Mary Elizabeth Winstead and want to see her in another leading role. And because of poor planning by marketing people I am stuck waiting and waiting and waiting for a film that is going to be extremely disappointing.
