Who is included in a domestic release?

• A. Worldwide excluding U.S.
• B. U.S. & Canada
• C. United States only
• D. Europe and Asia

Answer: (B)

The main idea tested is what counts as the domestic release in film distribution. Domestic release refers to the home market where the film is first released and marketed under a single set of rights, typically within North America. In practice, this home market is understood to be the United States and Canada, which are treated as the domestic territory for box office reporting, licensing, and initial distribution deals. This is why United States and Canada is the best answer: it matches the common industry convention that the domestic release encompasses these two countries as the primary market. Other options describe regions outside this home market—worldwide excluding the U.S. is outside the domestic scope, Europe and Asia are international territories, and the United States only excludes Canada, which is not how the term is normally defined.
