Outdated search results

Hi all, I want to report something happened to me. When I search for "zootopia":
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?query=zootopia&api_key=########
There is a movie called "Return to Zootopia" with ID 645017, but when I get the movie details for it, it tells resource not found:
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/645017?api_key=########
I'm having the same issue on other movies results. What could it be?
Best regards

Hi, as for the technical reason behind why some deleted entries remain in search for weeks I'll leave that to Travis. The entry was deleted since it was a fan film (which we generally don't allow).
Later update: Here is an example of three deleted entries stuck for two months.
