The two Peter Cushing Dalek movies screened in cinemas around the world in the 1960s - either dubbed or subtitled - although the second film had a much wider global distribution than the first.
Only the first film received a cinematic release in the United States and Canada. The second was never distributed as a theatrical presentation in North America, but eventually ended up on TV from July 1969, under the shortened title "Invasion Earth 2150 AD".
Both films were broadcast on television in many countries, but it would be impossible to catalogue all TV appearances, so only notable instances are included below. Additional info on TV appearances can be found on the main country profiles.
The films were also released on dubbed or subtitled home video and DVD in a number of countries; again, only some of those are noted below. See the main country profiles plus the following lists of known releases:

- The IMDB provides a number of overseas release dates as well as alternative foreign titles for other countries, but many of the these appear to be 'Google translations' of what the names would be in those foreign languages rather than official ones used on actual cinema screenings, TV or home media releases; our list above therefore includes only those titles that can be backed-up by visual evidence such as newspaper clippings or VHS/DVD covers
