Very recently, the Now Playing and Upcoming Movies movie lists are not retuning a list of movies when the language iso_639_1 code and region parameters are used in the request. For example:
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/now_playing?api_key=****&page=1&language=en®ion=us
Used to return a valid list of movies, not anymore. This request works with the other movie lists like Top Rated.
Now, the request must be formatted in the following way:
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/now_playing?api_key=****&page=1&language=en-US®ion=us
Or removing the region parameter also works with language=en.
I have not changed the request code in a while, but it suddenly stopped working how it had before.

As far as I know Mandarin, zh, it is not an Official Language spoken in the United States.
Only the ISO code of Official Languages spoken in a given country can be coupled to the ISO code of a country.
Therefore this combination of it, & language = zh-us or & language = zh-US, does not exist.
The parameter &language= specifies in which language will be the response data, such as the title or overview.
In the case of your two examples of API requests, was the response data that worked, was in Mandarin or came in English?
See some examples of countries with more than one official language.

This seems to be the same problem

"now_playing" and "upcoming" returning no results when using "language" and "region" parameters.

I’ll take a look at this problem this week. Something seems up but it looks to be quite inconsistent, as it does work sometimes but obviously isn’t other times.

Thank you, I appreciate it. It seems like removing the region parameter makes it work regardless of language parameter value.

Can you give it a try now? I made a few changes that I suspect may have been causing this but I am not 100% sure.
