    Alright, today I've seen two people (been checking now & then out of curiosity) trying to change this to a 2015 release date. I put the 2015 release date when I first put this up but was changed by whoever accepted the page. So maybe whoever did this explain why they did that so people will stop changing it lol.

      Editing … I will say that I agree with the people trying to change it. Just because the film had one premiere at a film festival in 2014 doesn't mean it's a 2014 release. I don't know why Wikipedia has its festival premiere as the first release date. Hell, even on Vaughn's own wiki page it says it is a 2015 film

      Editing … If we're doing this for Kingsman, the same should go for V for Vendetta. Someone edited it to a 2005 film, because of a single Dec 11 festival showing listed on imdb (which I've found to be innacurate at times).

      Editing … And like Kingsman, James McTeigue's Wiki page says that it is a 2006 film. You see, this is why I don't like the fact that his site uses the first sentence in a film's wiki page to determine what year a film has been released. IMO the release date should be determined by the film's first theatrical release to a country (be it a limited, internet, or otherwise). Mostly because the film that is showed at a festival is likely to change, either because of its reception or stipulations by the distribution company that picks up the film for distribution. Again this are just my two cents, you guys choose what you believe to be best for the site.

      Editing … Hmm, I see your point but we've had that argument before. Where was it again?

      Editing … What if a movie comes out in 2015 in a festival and someone adds the page on Favslist to rank it. Then what happens if the theatrical release happens in 2016 or even 2017? Should we leave it as "premiered" and only rankable in the most anticipated list until it comes out in theater? What if it never comes out in theaters? Not an easy issue...

      Editing … While we're on a thread together-- should Anime/Manga characters also be listed as Literature/TV Show characters? I'd think that manga covers literature (excluding novels) and anime covers TV shows/movies (unless they appear in a live-action adaptation), but I'd like to make sure

      Editing … Yes, you can count them as such. In too complicated to do now, but later on we'll be able to differentiate between animated and live-action characters. We'll have to wait on our feature on different version of a single game. We'll apply it to characters as well.

      Editing … Hey, do you have plans to be able to add Franchises as sub-franchises of other series', much like we can with subsidiary businesses? (Also adding fictional locations to games/movies/books/franchises). thx 4 reading bby

      Editing … Well, I'd say the easiest outcome (and by easiest I mean the one that pleases the most) is to allow the option to add multiple release dates and let the user base decide what year they believe a film to be released. Would require a bit more regulation on the part of the people who accept the pages, but I believe this would be the best outcome. I just know that I've seen this question brought up before and I highly doubt this question is going to end with me. People with far more knowledge about this medium will come in and probably will have the same complaint, so it really is best to get a solution that can benefit as many as possible.

      Editing … I see what you're saying Ryan and we'll see if you can find better solutions down the road. People were having the same complaints with games and I haven't about it for a good while now. Hopefully, that will be the case with movies as well :)

      Editing … So... did we come down on either side of the 2014-2015 debate then? lol. Personally I'd classify it as the year the majority of the movie going audience had access to it, but I understand both sides (going by official dates on websites is also a pretty good alternative)
