Hi Udaiyaraj,
We don't really have a specific toggle for "in theatres". The only thing you can do is query the API by release dates. The reason this is relevant is because you'll see things like direct to video movies as well as the off TV special. That's what our now playing method queries. You can also build your own query by using the discover method.
There's an open ticket to expand this functionality out to specific release types and dates.
Cheers.

Hi Udaiyaraj,
While we still don't support specifying a country release filter on discover, we do now support multiple release dates per country and type. You can read more about his here.
There's a new API method that supports returning this data which is documented here.
Cheers.
