Does anyone know how much region coding is used for blu-ray movies, whether the studios are strict at region coding there stuff or whether they're pretty loose with it. I know that all PS3 games are region free but i don't know how many movies actually use it. I'm asking because i'm thinking about getting the ff7 advent children on bluray, but it's only for japan and don't know whether it will work on my UK PS3, so I'm asking whether you guys think that it's likely sony pictures will region lock it or not.

I know this has nothing to do with games but, since it was about blu-ray i thought that the PS3 board would be a good place to ask.

There is a section in the link talking about region coding on blue rays.
