Seems to be usual but anyone know why that is? Japan is always the final place (often by several months) to get anything

I think this is because Japan is not a test market.
Production companies usually wait until movies are sure hit, and then take it to Japan.
Japan is one of the most profitable market for big hit movies but the marketing and all other stuff costs money.
So that's why they make sure to only bring blockbuster movies.
