Just to re-iterate what @alltimemarr said, you'll need to contact Kodi about this issue. I am not sure how the manual overrides work but it sounds like that's what you want, and that is a client issue, not a TMDb one
I am not sure how Kodi decides which one to use based on multiple exact matches. I haven't used Kodi in a few years but like @alltimemarr said, there is usually a way to override the one that is being chosen. If there's an issue with that, you need to talk to Kodi.
For Kodi(Krypton, should be the same in older versions):
If your movie is scraped incorrectly, go to the movies content menu, click "Information". Within "Information" click "Refresh". A window opens where you can chose between titles, but instead click on the "Manual" button. Now enter the correct movie's imdb ID (e.g. tt0120338 for Titanic, it's always the tt number in the imdb URL). The correct movie title will now be listed. Click on the title and voilà the movie will now be scraped correctly.
The same also works for movies that won't be scraped at all (e.g. short films). You can find those failed entries in your Event Log.
Here you just click the movie, the refresh window opens automatically. Same procedure as above.
I hope this helps, had the same problem some time go. Took me a while to figure it out. Cheers!
Edit: Just tested it with a Split stub out of couriosity. It worked.

You gotta manually override the matching. Maybe ask on the Kodi forums. I know it's easily done in Plex by selecting "Fix Incorrect Match".

Since you don't seem to have understood/read my reply, I googled for you and found this:
http://kodi.wiki/view/NFO_files/movies#Video_.nfo_files_containing_a_mix_of_XML_and_URL
Seems like the way to go! NFO files for the win!

it's the themoviedb plugin that's the problem, it's ignoring my nfo's as well
downside switched to universal movie scrapper, and now all my recent stuff has been turned into movies from 50 years ago ...
