Come Back, Little Sheba (1978 film) → Come Back, Little Sheba (1977 film) – There are several problems with this article, starting with it acting like this TV film is a British production, when it is apparently a British-American co-production. But the bigger issue is that while it apparently premiered in the UK on 1 January 1978, according to this source, this TV film actually debuted in the U.S. on 31 December 1977 (source is from Dec. 30, and describes the U.S. debut as happening "tomorrow" at 9pm, which would be the night of Saturday, Dec. 31). As we usually disambigate by when films "premiere", this should be moved to Come Back, Little Sheba (1977 film) based on the U.S. premiere date. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 05:51, 19 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Could time zones be responsible? It was already 1978 in the UK by the time it premiered across the pond. O.N.R. ^(talk) 06:31, 19 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Possibly, but does that matter? We have never used GMT this way to establish dates for film releases. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 13:56, 19 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Support per the source that shows the US release date of 1977. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 16:10, 19 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
Support - conforms to WP:NCFILM and there are multiple reliable sources available that confirm this premiered on Dec 31, 1977. "1977" also agrees with other online databases like IMDB, TMDB, TCM, BFI, Allmovie - so that probably confirms we're on the right track with this move. -- Netoholic @ 16:17, 19 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Reminds me of a similar situation with The General, which had a release in Tokyo(!) on 31st Dec 1926, more than a month ahead of its US release. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 16:36, 19 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Support per nomination, Lugnuts and Netoholic. Obviously 1977. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 02:34, 20 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
