Multiple release dates for single movie when using append_to on movie detail api.

When asking for the release dates for an individual movie* a collection of release dates is returned however there are duplicates! I have deduced one is theatrical and one is the premier release date but on the release date object i.e { "certification": "", "iso_3166_1": "DE", "primary": false, "release_date": "2016-10-20" }
There is no property describing which type the release is (Like that found on the site). Is their any other way of getting only theatrical release dates?

Hi there,
The /releases method was deprecated back in January, you should take a look at the /release_dates method which has the same data that is available on the website. You can then filter by whichever
typeyou want.Cheers.
