/movie/upcoming list not refreshing

From the apiary documentation on /movie/upcoming, I can see "...this list refreshes every day." However it doesn't seem to be the case, as I have been getting the same result for almost a month, in the same order.

Hi Ladna,
Just a few clarifications for you, that documentation isn't actually accurate anymore. The list methods are not cached any more like they used to be, so technically speaking the lists update instantly as new data gets added and the days roll on.
The website uses the same query as the API and I'm currently seeing the same results on the API as the website which look accurate to me.
Now an interesting thing I just noticed, is that on about every second refresh the date range supplied in the query (the
datesfield) is changing which is naturally changing the results. But that is a separate issue, this just seems to be a small issue with the date query (it's sliding around by 4 days).
