48 Hrs. doesn't pull. Due to a PERIOD in the name?

I am using mediabrowser.tv. Have a movie, 48 Hours, known on this site as "48 Hrs. (1982)". Link to the page is https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/150-48-hrs.
In MediaBrowser I always label my folders and movie files based on the title as it's listed on each movies page which is usually . So I put "48 Hrs. (1982)" without the quotes. It doesn't find it. Any idea why? Works for my other 400+ movies. This has only happened one other time and I think that instance had a period in the title as well if that's relevant. Any thoughts why polling based on the before mentioned name doesn't return a record?
For reference, I also have this problem with "Mr. Peabody & Sherman (2014)". Only other one. If for some reason though I take out the year it works. Not sure why because like the other ones I've documented the 2014 is in the main heading of the page the movie is referenced on.

Hi ,
This won't be on our end. This query here works just fine:
But then so does this:
You should ask the MediaBrowser guys about this as they might be using the period character as some kind of a delimiter.
Last thing I'll mention, the website and API use the same search so you can test this easily here too:
Cheers.

Understood, however I always make my filenames, to eliminate confusion, the name that is listed on the top of the movie's page which is " ()". For some reason 48 hours and Mr. Peabody do not pull when I have the year in the filename. Every other of my 400+ movies works fine.
So for example of my process:
MediaBrowser doesn't return anything. If I do the same say for say 50 First Dates and based on it's page save the filename as "50 First Dates (2004)", it finds and pulls the image art fine. There must be something odd about 48 Hrs. (1982) and Mr. Peabody & Sherman (2014) that it's not pulling with the year in the name like the rest. Thoughts?
EDIT: Just noticed your search query above returns both 48 Hrs and Another 48 Hrs, which is why I always have the year in the titles, to guarantee uniqueness and always works except these two titles. If MediaBrowser gets two results back it's probably going to crap out. Now I know I can directly reference the TMDBID in the folder name, however never have to do this other than perhaps boxset id's.
Thanks.
