I like the "Upcoming Season Premiers" feature on the TV Maze website. I tried to use the same Upcoming feature here on TMDB, but all I get is rubbish.
Can someone explain why, when selecting Upcoming Movies, it lists movies dating back to 1925? And any dates entered in the search filters are completely ignored.

I did check the first line of results from your screenshot :

Hi @superboy97 Thanks for looking.
Yes I took the screenshot a few weeks ago, but only got around to posting the report today. I did test a couple of times between then and now and got same results.
It is weird how the dates are shown in the screenshot are correct, yet the search engine is using different dates. It's not even respecting the chosen dates in the date filter.
I would like to see a list of upcoming releases both in movies and tv shows (which is what Upcoming Movies is meant to do), sorted by most recent date at the top instead of the default Most Popular. I'll have to stick with TV Maze for tv shows and IMDB for movie releases.
Maybe you can escalate to @travisbell?

It's because you have left "Search all countries" checked. As @superboy97 pointed out, there is a matching release to all of those entries in certain countries. You can uncheck that, and pick a specific country if you're only looking for releases in a certain region.

Oh, of course. Thanks @travisbell and thanks @superboy97
Maybe you can remove that being enabled as default? Let users enable it if they need it?

I can confirm that both Slovak theatrical releases were wrong (I contacted the user because it might have been a festival premiere or limited theatrical distribution, though). As for Austrian releases, that's up to German mods, but I noticed The Pink Panther (1963) in Austrian cinema schedules, so maybe Inspector Clouseau (1968) was released in Austria in some kind of limited theatrical re-release.
