Godzilla vs Kong release date confusion.

MemberBaragonMar-24-2021 1:12 PMAs we count down the days before the bg release, I've noticed a bit of ......confusion? A mixup? I don't know what you would call it
When I looked up the release date for GvK last week It said March 31st, but now whenever I look it up it says March 25. Which would be.....tomorrow?
Maybe I'm missing something?

G theorist
MemberBaragonMar-24-2021 1:15 PMOk wait. After a little bit of digging, I've found that it was internationally released March 24th. So is it coming out on the 25th in the U.S.? if so, why was the initial date the 31st? Early release?

MemberBaragonMar-24-2021 1:18 PMfor me it releases tomorrow, and on the US it releases on the 31st since they have access to hbo max

AdminGodzillaMar-24-2021 1:23 PMAfter this, and trying to rely on Google for the runtime, I think we've learned to not trust Google.

sonictiger
MemberGiganMar-24-2021 1:37 PMYeah, don't trust Google anymore.

G theorist
MemberBaragonMar-24-2021 2:08 PMOk, the 31st. So why did it ,1. Say that it was internationally released yesterday and 2. To be released in the U.S. tomorrow.
Do they not get this info from official sources?!

AdminGodzillaMar-24-2021 2:13 PMG theorist,
They do not get it from official sources. The Google search engine algorithm gathers the information from some of the most popular or most clicked on websites. So even if the information is wrong, it's going to bring up an answer from whatever source it can find--Official, unofficial or dead wrong.
This is why Google was claiming the movie was almost three hours long--Some fan added that number to iMDB in December. At the time it was the only answer available about the runtime, even though it was false. And even when it was taken down, the answer was still locked in Google's response to the question.

MemberBaragonMar-24-2021 2:19 PMWow, I was under the impression that Google got its answers from official/trustworthy sites. Kinda scary to think about how one person can affect it like that.

sonictiger
MemberGiganMar-24-2021 2:44 PMYeah, that is scary.
