Is there a way for me to check if a specific movie is in theaters? /now_playing returns a list of movies but can I specify a certain one?

Hi @Akmca,
It depends what you mean by "in theatres". If you mean theatrical data like showtimes and what not, we do not have that data. If however, you mean querying by theatrical release dates, you can use discover to filter by these dates. Something like this is a good starting point:
This is looking for movies with a theatrical release type (3) in the US, between January 15 and February 7.
This is just scratching the surface of what you can use discover for, there's ~30 filters you can use.
