R1 (USA/Canada) is a much bigger market - lots of DVDs which would turn a profit over there simply aren`t commercially viable in the UK (or Europe generally).

It`s also a question of taste; some titles appeal specifically to an American audience.

For example "How to lose weight you big fat lump of lard" would appeal only to Yanks.

Surely that title would not appeal to fat people? Wouldn`t they prefer "You Don`t Need To Lose Weight At All, Get Your Fat Ass Down To McDonald`s!"
