Elchan - you've still got FRTVL limited. It went wide and adjusts 8/20 {nm} JDolphin Aug 05, 21:31

Thanks. Yet one more variant of the limited/wide date format, from Antibody. No semi-colon, this time. Added to my list. elchan Aug 05, 21:44

Why won't just "wide" work? If there's "wide", the releae date is always the wide opening weekend. {nm} Antibody Aug 06, 10:51

Because I parse out the original limited release date, and then the wide re-release date, so that I can calculate the drops later. elchan Aug 06, 12:42

Also, the "Release Pattern" field may not contain wide/limited, but still it may not be a wide re-release. Sometimes you have NY/LA ... elchan Aug 06, 12:51

If it doesn't contain "wide" then it's 12 weeks limited release. {nm} Antibody Aug 06, 15:45

Ok, if you stick to that, then I can add that rule. But, I still need to parse the dates for drops. {nm} elchan Aug 06, 16:37

Isn't the wide date used for drops? Look at the attached for FRTVL and WAYBK socby19 Aug 06, 14:18

The TAG adjusts are based on delist date of the movie, but later on the drops are based on first release date. elchan Aug 06, 16:36

No. the Wide release date is it. The limited date ceases to exist once it goes wide. Period. Buy BONDS 21 Aug 06, 20:22

Are you sure? We had a discussion a while back, and I changed the code to use first(limited) release date. And no one has complained ... elchan Aug 06, 21:18

Yes. mrbinns is correct, and socby19's post gives a good example. The wide release becomes the release date. RogerMore Aug 07, 09:06

If there's "wide", the releae date is always the wide opening weekend. {nm} Antibody on Aug 06, 10:51 {nm} Antibody Aug 07, 10:49

Ok, straight from the source. I'll use the "wide" release date, then. Thanks! {nm} elchan Aug 07, 10:52

I failed earlier to come up with a past example off the top of my head. Please see ZDTHR. socby19 Aug 06, 22:21

Just FYI, I've current got 26 variants. {nm} elchan Aug 05, 22:01
