I fixed it when deleting a dupe. However, what is the original source for the German September release date? IMDb only? I think there may have been a mix-up. According to this Dutch trailer the Dutch release was on September 27 so maybe someone assumed the German release would be the same. The deleted German dupe entry had the January 25 release date. Can someone look into that for me?
Edit: Maybe there was an original German release in September after all. It's still quite confusing... But then again, the only Alien Expedition link on that site goes to this Amazon release, which is the Dutch release. So my theory may have been correct after all.

The trailer on above splendid link has Ab 25.01.2019 im Handel!
filmstarts above says Starttermin 25. Januar 2019 auf DVD (1 Std. 33 Min.)
amazon de says (Jan 25, 2019)
So maybe it had an early digital release and physical was 1-25?
Am never sure on some of these if they ever have a theater release, so often we use physical/digital/tv titles as translated
However other mod seem to have a magic source/tiebreaker...maybe they can shed light.

Seems to agree with imdb, but who knows it has the original title, maybe splendid re-released in jan with the new DE title?
Will leave it to u mods to make the call

Well, whoever added the incorrect information first maybe needed to cover up that mistake.
I'm not convinced there was a German release in September.
Once again there are no actual sales pages with that blu-ray. All links go to the 2019 release. My experience with Amazon is that if there had been a 2018 blu-ray release that should have been there somewhere, even with a potential re-release. I think now that there was a German release planned for 2018, but they only released it in the Netherlands. Then they re-branded the movie for a 2019 German release instead.
In conclusion: I added a September 27, 2018, Dutch release. I changed the German release to January 25, 2019. Should conclusive new evidence appear, feel free to present it below! Thanks. Closing topic!
