I just saw a commercial ad for the Theatrical release of Boy Kills World while watching a TV show.
Then when I googled it to get info about it the main Google info shows it's a 2023 movie, as does IMDB. Yet the movie hasn't even been released in theaters yet, and won't be until April 26th 2024... Which is 3 more days away.
Shouldn't the web be saying it's a 2024 movie since it's going to be released in 2024?
Because anytime I look up any other movie or TV show they always list the year as when it was originally released in, not the year before when it was presumably in production.
