with the upcoming API https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/upcoming?api_key=API_KEY&include_adult=false&language=English&sort_by=popularity.desc&page=1&include_video=false
It should list the upcoming movies that not yet on theater. But as see, most of them in the list already released. some of them even from 2016 October.

Hi there,
First off, most of the parameters you're specifying are not supported by that method, so there's no point on specifying them.
Is a correct call.
Secondly, you'll want to specify a region to get more exact results. To get the list that matches the website, your query would look like this:
Upcoming is just a templated discover query so if you want to make changes beyond the supported list of parameters, you can switch to movie discover and do everything custom exactly how you want it.

Hi @Zemovie
As outlined in the docs (and above for that matter), the
languageparameter has nothing to do with locale or region. You'll want to use theregionparam.Is the query you're looking for.
Remember though, the query is only as good as the data we have added for France.
