Hi @anandrikka The upcoming call with a region filter will filter movies that have a release date for that specific country within the specified date range. So when you say "have already been released" it all depends on two things:

  1. The data we have added (could be wrong, or missing)
  2. The country you're querying, ie. a movie could have been released in Europe a month before the U.S.

One easy example of this is Underworld. It's been released in most of Europe already but not hitting the U.S. until January 7.

Thanks Travis, but as you mentioned if my filter contains country and region details, it should return Jan 7th right ?

The upcoming date filters are available in the response, right now they are reading:

"dates":{"maximum":"2017-01-15","minimum":"2016-12-25"}

And looking at the results for this query:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/upcoming?api_key=xxx&language=en-US&page=1&region=US

I am seeing Underworld being returned as the first result.

Thanks @travisbell upcoming query is working good.
