If you go to each of those movies, you'll see that there's an IMDB ID validation error:

How to fix these is outlined here: https://www.themoviedb.org/documentation/editing#validation-errors
Keep in mind for the API, you will likely have to wait upto 24 hours for the cached entries to be cleared.
Cheers.
