From what I gather, Warner has the license to distribute everywhere except North America, where Paramount owns it. This is probably the reason why BD versions of Beo is coming out everywhere except the US.
There's actually a new bd release of Beo from Aussie as well:

http://www.ezydvd.com.au/item.zml/798298Am not sure if it's region locked though. Warner historically doesn't lock most of its titles but there is word that they will implement the restriction more strictly soon. Thus we need to double check the Region B's.
Let's see how this plays out. Cheers!
