Some IMDB IDs result in 404s

Hi!
I'm using the ruby-tmdb3 wrapper for the TMDb API and when querying movies by IMBD ID some IDs just don't work. For example: tt1337125 has an IMDB page but the response from api.themoviedb.org/3 is
{"status_code":6,"status_message":"Invalid id - The pre-requisite id is invalid or not found"}
Some similar IDs: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1530660/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0865928/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1492728 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1337125
Do you have any ideas?

It's likely that those movies haven't been created on TMDb or that the IDs haven't been added to the corresponding entry on TMDb. Search for them by their titles and if they're not here you'll have to create them.
Cheers.
