That assumes that the torrenters have access to a version of netflix that has that movie, mine in the netherlands for example does not.
You can always torrent a film in just about any language and get high quality as soon as the film hits the stores in the country of origin, sometimes before (those preview audiences). And yes, I'm talking about across the board, films from the US, south america, european countries, - surely asia too though I wouldn't know (mainly just watch films in english/spanish/portuguese). And watching it in the original is something that makes the film better (unless Bafleck is acting in it).
I have a netflix (IMHO the best alternative out there) account and like the service, but when a new episode comes out they don't get it immediately you have to wait for films, this can actually be a really long time and you don't get "every" voice over just the ones for your country, so if the relatives are visiting who just speak spanish and you're living in germany well you know what forget it, if you want to watch the movie the only way to do it is to torrent. Also europe is really problematic for some reason, if I drive 2 hours to poland and access from a polish IP netflix denies all streaming?
Honestly, I think anyone would be willing to pay easily more than $8 mo. to be able to just stream any film/episode in any language/dubbing at any time. I think studios should concentrate on making that possible over this dns crap.
Studios don't really have the leverage to do much about this because they are dependent on national distributors to collect the revenue and often to put up the money for the production cost ahead of time(eg distributors will put up a few million Euro in advance to buy the rights to a film with a popular star and a good story based on a trailer shown at a prestigious film festival. This is why the Cannes film Festival is a big deal; not so much because of all the stars, but because that's the event where EU film distributors look into what studios want to produce for the following year and sign contracts to buy the rights).
It sounds to me that you want a single global marketplace that all films are sold into and that delivers direct-to-consumer from there, but there isn't any single media company in the world big enough to do that - and if there were, it would be run into problems with authorities in the US and EU for restraint of trade, price-fixing etc.. You would basically be removing the rights of producers to negotiate their own prices and have a sort of industry communism, which would give the few biggest studios more power than they have now.
So they can already release it before all that. Then do that stuff afterwards to get more viewers.
The fact that producer, consumer and distributor interests are not aligned doesn't mean they're oppositional. Consumers aren't incentivized or sufficiently experienced or organized to provide forward financing in most cases, distributors aren't incenitvized to give away free copies because they're trying to recoup their risky investment.
But, I torrent as well to safe money. We have different price structures, lower income, higher taxes and higher prices for media content and often technical goods like Apple Computer: if a given iPad costs 700$ it will cost me >700€ we have often less money to spend
