Hi @chandrakanth reddy,

I actually just released on a new discover filter on Friday that allows you to do exactly this. I have a few small improvements to make before I release this officially but if you take a look at the movie discover filters, there's a new one called with_release_type. What you can do is specify a comma or pipe separated list of values that map to our release types.

An example query of movies being released in theatres (including limited releases) would look like this:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?api_key=###&with_release_type=2|3

Now, what's even cooler is you can include a new region filter which will only look at the country you specify. An example call for that looks like:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?api_key=###&with_release_type=2|3&region=US

More examples and information for this will be explained in a blog post this week.

Cheers.

Dear, I know this post is old. But I don't find the answer. I would like to know if I can look for the films in theatres in Spain. Because "region=ES" gives me an error. Give me films from any data, I try to put sortby release desc but not works.

Hi @versionCritica,

I'm not sure if I follow.

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?api_key=###&region=ES&release_date.gte=2018-10-24&release_date.lte=2018-11-19&with_release_type=3|2

Is working fine (returns 37 results). What kind of error are you getting?

Thanks, It's better result, but I don't see some films that are now in theatres like Overlord but I see this film in the theMovieDB home screen.

thank you!

Ok, great. Keep in mind, the results are only going to be as good as the data that is added to TMDb. Overlord does have a release date added for Spain but it's outside of the data range I used in my query above (10/10/2018), so feel free to adjust the query if that's what makes sense.

Yes I change the query since 1 month ago to today. I see the date for overlord is 10 october but in spain is 9 november. the date of release is wrong for Spain. How can we change the date of the release films for determinate countries?

Thanks for your job & your effort.

Click the link I gave you above and you can correct the data.

I found and I have changed it!

Thanks!

And only one think more jeje I put '&sortby=release_date.desc' to get a sortde list by date but the list come without sort. I sorted in frontend no issue. But I'm having other problem. the result of the last call is confuse. because I updated some films in theMoviedb but it's not updating the response. and other films are showing correctly because the release date from spain are now, but the release date that show is the origin release. for example It's happening for hte anime "Maquia" its displaying "release date:2018-02-24"

sorry for the inconveniences
