The search is made agains all the releaase dates listed on TMDB.
The Hellboy 2004 version have a physical release in 4K in 2019 listed on its release page. Consequently, the returned results are correct.
If you want only results based on the original release, you should use "primary_release_year" instead of "year" in your API search.
