https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/now_playing?page=40&api_key="PRIVATE"&language=en
returns 0 sized results list as well as incorrect dates, total_pages, and total_results values. In fact, after checking more thoroughly I've noticed that other pages contain all sorts of different values than is expressed in the first couple of pages. The following results from page 39, 40, and 41 illustrate the bug:
PAGE 39:
{"dates": {"minimum": "2015-10-21","maximum": "2015-12-02"},"page": 39,"results": [{...}],"total_pages": 43,"total_results": 854}
PAGE 40:
{"dates": {"minimum": "2015-10-28","maximum": "2015-12-09"},"page": 40,"results": [],"total_pages": 37,"total_results": 726}
PAGE 41:
{"dates": {"minimum": "2015-10-21","maximum": "2015-12-02"},"page": 41,"results": [{...}],"total_pages": 43,"total_results": 856}

Hi judsonbelnap@gmail.com,
This would just be a cache issue. I can see the results right now are only reporting 37 pages.
Parts of the API are in the midst of being re-written to be cache-less and you'll see this problem disappear when the featured movie lists get that treatment.
Cheers.

By the way, the /now_playing and /upcoming methods have been updates and are now cache-less so you won't see this problem again.
