One upon a time, movies were released in different countries at different times. This could be done because there was no easy way to copy and store away a movie. If you lived in Italy, you could wait up to two years before you saw a popular movie. Then two things happened: it became easy to copy and store movies; and everybody in the world suddenly became interconnected. The regional segregation has ended: the only ones to believe that it's still there are the dinosaurs from a past era.

  Same as always.

   
  So, perhaps it has been fixed? Can you, or anyone else, confirm that? There appear to be no github issues [github.com] about it (open or closed) at the moment.
