In France, movies cannot be released concurrently, see "chronologie des medias" literally timeline per medium. It takes up to 3 years after theatrical release to be allowed to distribute to all other mediums.

Movies and tv shows are ALWAYS in the local language. The fraction of population speaking English in germany/france/spain/italy/etc is incredibly small, all content is and need to be localised.

I wouldn't worry that people will start watching (English) shows from service in other countries because it won't happen.
