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.
