/movie/upcoming API showing old records in response (stale data)

Hello Travis,
Recently, the /movie/upcoming API has been sending stale data in response. I queried the API today (6-January-2017) and the API response is shown over here.
If you check the response, you'll see that older movies for instance, Underworld : Blood wars which released on 1st Dec 2016 is being shown in the response data. I suppose the program DB Query with respect to the release date might be going wrong somewhere.
Thank you for your APIs. Lots of love and support from India.
Regards,
Adithya

Hello @travisbell
Region specific filtering does make sense. I suppose I'll have to add region=US as a query
parameter while hitting the /movie/upcoming API. Another question @travisbell . Apart from
upcoming movies and now_playing movies, have any other APIs been affected?
The drawback with Android Apps is that every-time some APIs change, new Build has to be rolled out on play store :)
Web APPs are better in this regard. :)
Amazing work Travis. Keep up the good work :)
