Hi,

How do you determine the Production Year of a movie?
I always looked at the year of the copyright at the end of the filmcredits and for all movies I checked lately that's the same as the year of the copyright at the backcover.
But what should be the Production Year for The Prophecy II?

According the cover, and most profiles in the online DB, it should be 1998:


According the filmcredits it should be 1997:


Should it be the year in the filmcredits or on the cover?

Greets,
Mitch.

Per the rules it should be the year it was first shown in theaters (or on TV for TV movies... or first released to the public for direct to video releases).

This, and all info for Prophecy 2 shows Jan. 20th 1998 as the earliest release date anywhere, so 1998 it is.

Indeed. The term "Production Year" is misleading at best. Should be something like "year of first public release".
