Reported Problem for 7500
posted by thwallerSTAFFMOD on October 30, 2016 at 11:04 PM
Item: 7500
Language: en
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: This may or may not be incorrect data. I ask on the title... you have chosen here, and have locked, "7500" as the title. On IMDB, RottenTomatoes, Wikipedia, etc, they all list "Flight 7500" as the title. Those references aside, Lionsgate on their website calls it "Flight 7500" as well: http://lionsgateathome.com/flight-7500.
The only think I can think of is a difference on the 2014 and the 2016 release of the movie. There is some detail on that here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1975159/releaseinfo?ref_=tt_dt_dt, along with the alternate titles., in addition to Wikipedia.
"Flight 7500 is a 2014 American supernatural horror film directed by Takashi Shimizu and written by Craig Rosenberg. It stars Leslie Bibb, Jerry Ferrara, Ryan Kwanten, Jamie Chung, Christian Serratos, Nicky Whelan and Amy Smart. It revolves around a supernatural force on a plane. The film was released in the United States on April 12, 2016, by CBS Films and Lionsgate."
Additionally, here is the link at CBS Films: http://www.cbsfilms.com/flight7500/, also titling the movie "Flight 7500".
My question is to why the title here is different from other sources, including Lionsgate and CBS who released the film? From what I can see, most reference to just "7500" is from Germany and the release there, but I only looked slightly into this.

Just giving this a bump due to inactivity.

Tricky! It looks the movie was supposed to be released in 2012 (and then 2013 and then 2014) as 7500 (this is the old trailer, the original website and the older posters), but the US released was delayed for a few years. In the meantime, it was released theatrically and on DVD in many non-English countries. "Flight 7500" feels more like a new title, but it's allegedly the first local/English release.
Anyone want to weigh in?

I think we should use Flight 7500 as original title. 7500 could then be seen as a working title, which means those early posters could stay. What countries used 7500 for the release title?

I didn't check all the releases, but this is the Japanese website.

It's a Japanese co-production and a Japanese director. Still, it feels more like a US movie production as a whole.
I would still recommend changing the original title.

I agree! Thanks! They both feels a little wrong, though.
