Explainer/Issue

• Coming Soon movies are classed as 'Coming Soon' (i.e: showing on your Coming Soon page) by having a release date in the future.
• A movie's release date can be set in Veezi/Vista, and this release date pulls through to your website.
• However, in Veezi/Vista you can only enter one release date per movie, and not a release date per location. So, the Your Cinema site can only see the one release date.
• This means, all of your locations will have the same release date on your website.

Solution

Your Cinema has created a workaround to allow different release dates for different locations:

1. Set up a Coming Soon film as normal in Veezi/Vista. Once it's pulled through...

2. Log in to your website admin, and make sure you have selected the relevant location in the top navigation bar.

3. Go to MOVIES, select the movie you wish to change and click EDIT.

4. In this screen, you will see an option to set a release date.

5. Change this to the desired date, and uncheck the tickbox 'Release Date - Receive updates' (this will happen automatically after completing step 5).

   <aside> 💡 By unchecking this tickbox, you have turned off updates from Veezi/Vista (for the release date field, for this movie at this location), so it won't be overwritten on next import.

6. Hit SAVE.

Now you have given a movie a specific, stand-alone release date for a given location. What if you now wish to hide this film from other locations?

To remove a Coming Soon film from a location...

• Complete the above steps, but give it a release date in the past.

  <aside> 💡 Your Coming Soon page is filtered to show all movies with a release date in the future. So, by giving a release date in the past, the movie won't show here.
