Select country for release date.

I use "{{ movie.release_date }}" to show the release dates on my homepage, but I was wondering if it was possible to select release dates from other countries, since they are added to the database.

Hi alucardu,
You can call the /releases method to get all of the release information we have back. You can of course use
append_to_responseto do this in a single query:Cheers.

Hey Travis, thanks for the response. Quick follow up though. Is it possible to show the release dates in a search action? When I go to http://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/206647?api_key=###&append_to_response=releases I do see the release date info for the upcomming Spectre movie. But when I add append_to_response=releases to the search query it doesn't show it http://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=###&query=james%20bond%20spectre&append_to_response=releases

Hi alucardu,
It is not currently possible to show extra data on the search requests.
Per locale "list results" are planned but not possible today. I have an open ticket for that here.

Hi @alucardu I thought I'd let you know that filtering by region and release type has been pushed live. You can read more about this on the blog.
