In China the DVD will be copied, which isn't as likely with the film experience. Frankly, both countries worry about the balance of payments, which Chinese consumers consuming American movies helps. To have China focus on keeping every last dollar inside the borders is a form of protectionism, which if other countries followed would result in a general slowdown of trade. Sure this particular movie is a tiny blip, but then if so they should just play the movie until nobody wants to see it. India doesn't have a hard time making movies - Bollywood is a huge success and they export to the rest of the world. Seems like a healthy balance to me.
