Do you guys have any hypothesis on the reasoning behind multiple titles used for the same movie in other parts of the world?
Example:
US(original title): Fists of Steel. Int'l: Hands of Steel
US: Nanny McPhee Returns. Int'l (original title): Nanny McPhee & the Big Bang
US: Karate Kid; Int'l: Kungfu Kid; Japan: The Best Kid; Original title: The New Karate Kid
US: 9 Int'l (original title): Number 9
It seems to me that the NA titles (unless it's the original title), it always gets the dumbed down version of the title.
