Best Answer

It might be that movies are scheduled to be released on days where there is no other mayor movie released in the same time frame in order to not cannibalize each other entrances. Another thing to consider is that maybe big feature films such Iron Man 2 might be released earlier on countries where there is a high tendency of piracy. In this manner they are able to gain the profits that otherwise could be lost if the piracy industry has the time lag to make the copies and flood this markets with movies that are released months earlier in the USA.
