upcoming movies maximum date

https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/movies/get-upcoming
in the upcoming movies api docs it states :
"Get a list of upcoming movies in theaters. This is a release type query that looks for all movies that have a release type of 2 or 3 within the specified date range."
But there is no query parameter to set the min/max dates of the results. The results have currently returned all movies with max date set to 2020-02-03 for the past 2 weeks but nothing further. I cannot get upcoming movies beyond this date anymore. Is there a parameter missing from the docs? This wasn't a problem until this month.
json always returns:
"dates": {
"maximum": "2020-02-03",
"minimum": "2020-01-17"
},

Hi @lmerza,
If you'd like to build your own query, you will need to use /discover. Something like this, for example (tweak the dates as you wish):
Make sure to read through the docs for discover as there is over 25 different filters and sort options.

where in the docs are
release_date.gteandrelease_date.ltefor/movie/upcoming? Are you saying that endpoint isn't what I should use anymore? I just tried changingrelease_date.lteto2020-03-03and still only get a max of 2020-02-03Reply by Travis Bell

/movie/upcomingdoes not support customizing the release date query. I showed you how to do it with discover (which is what upcoming is using behind the scenes.)
