Hi @xavdid,

Hey there! Longtime user, first time poster. Big fan.

Thanks for kind words

That would because on the API, without a region, the first theatrical release is being used. On the website, you're probably seeing the U.S. release date.

So for the upcoming call, you could do this:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/upcoming?api_key=###&language=en-US&region=US

Please note, that due to a bug with the way release dates are calculated you might not see Black Panther on the list. Refresh it and the dates will change and you'll see it. I really need to fix this!

When you see Black Panther, you'll see that the release date is Feb. 16. You can read more about regions here.

Ah, got it. The page I'm using (almost exclusively) is the /movie/{id} page described here. That page doesn't seem to take a region param, but with append_to_request and some extra parsing, I should be able to get what I need.

Does the release_date pull from a specific region? It seems like it pulls from GB (that's the only date that matches up). Or is it just pulling the earliest type == 3 release?

Either way, thanks again for a great product!

On the website it's pulling 2 & 3 I believe. Order matters on discover, so you can build a query like this:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/discover/movie?api_key=###&release_date.gte=2018-02-21&release_date.lte=2018-03-15&region=GB|US&with_release_type=3|2

So this is looking for movies within the specified release range in GB and the US, and that have either a limited theatrical or wide theatrical release. If you want GB only, change region to just 'US'.
