What these detection statuses mean
CAM means a cinema recording, WEB means a digitally sourced copy, standard Blu-ray and 4K UHD Blu-ray are separate disc-sourced first detections. A missing detection does not prove a copy is unavailable elsewhere. Dates are compared by Eastern calendar day against available US release dates, with research filling missing dates. Same-day dates do not establish a precise sequence without an official release time. Monitored source addresses and download links are never published.

Release Context
U.S. & International Release Details
Limited screenings and digital launches are distinct release types. Available US release dates are used for comparisons; additional research fills missing stages. International dates provide context, not proof of a detected copy's origin. Blu-ray and 4K UHD require edition-specific evidence.
