why does American made movies have their premier's and openings overseas 1st?

Every other country opens their movies in there own country 1st then opens over seas a week or so later. Is it just me or is that going to be the trend now. not only is jobs going overseas. but movies are being shown over seas before it is even seen by a single American. God this country sucks a$$ so bad now.

    That's not true. They are usually premiered here in the U.S. first unless it's produced in connection with foreign studios. The majority of premieres you may see are the foreign premieres, following the U.S. premieres.

    There's more money in foreign box office, and it also makes good buzz for the film.
