Status: Released when Release Date > today

This might be a more general question, but I came across the 'issue' when compiling some collection completion stats.
My code showed that I hadn't completed the Indy collection, despite me excluding un-released films.
Tracing the error back, it was due to Dial of Destiny showing a status of 'Released', so not being excluded in my code.
Is this due to it's premiere at Cannes on May 18th?
Do we need a further tag for status, called 'Release (Limited)' or something along those lines, for films that haven't been 'released' properly yet, but may have been shown in these limited scenarios?
Obviously I can amend in my code to exclude based on release date rather than status, but may cause issues for others.

Yes.
If you want to exclude some type of releases, you need to analyze the different release dates fields.
Pay also attention to the fact that, as per our rules, the status field may be set to "released" up to 8 days before the woeld premiere date.

Thanks for the swift reply - I'll just code my own logic on my end - thanks!
